Petition

change the government's proposals to stop individuals under 22 from UC & PIP

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

The government should invest in job search platforms that prioritise quality over quantity, as tools like Indeed are often flooded with scam jobs and quality listings. Vulnerable young people seeking stable employment frequently waste time on irrelevant postings or fall victim to fraud.
The UK government should address the urgent issues faced by vulnerable young people, including domestic violence, homelessness, and financial instability. Increased financial assistance, such as Personal Independence Payment (PIP), job training, and employment programs should be implemented. Feedback from those involved in these programs can help improve investment. Access to mental health services and permanent safe housing initiatives are also crucial for young people dealing with trauma and stress.
