Right to Social  Security and  Decent Public Services
5.1 million families worse off under universal credit

The UK Government must:

  • End universal credit, while protecting the incomes of those already receiving the benefit.

  • End all benefit caps including the two-child limit on child benefit.

  • End benefit sanctions.

  • Replace Work Capability Assessment with medical assessments run by the NHS.

  • End DWP’s target based culture and the outsourcing of contracts to the private sector and provide a person-centred approach to social security provision.

  • Properly fund public services including health, education and central and local government recognising the essential foundation they provide and their role in ending poverty and inequality.
