CAP signs a joint letter to Dame Diana Johnson re DWP’s role in the implementation of the Crisis and Resilience Fund
Key points raised:
- Welcomes the scheme and the cash-first approach + that guidance asks local authorities to ensure these crisis payments are connected with wraparound services including advice and income max support
- Asking DWP to:
- Increase awareness + maintain database of scheme to aid awareness and referrals
- Track and report data at national level & encourage local authorities to monitor
- Evaluate activities and pilot more in-depth monitoring
- Work with partners to share good practice guidance and case studies
