Reminder: Volunteers needed for new Universal Credit data share working group

1. In LAWD8/2021, the Local Authority Partnership, Engagement and Delivery division asked for local authority (LA) volunteers to join a new working group on Universal Credit (UC) data share improvements.

2. This is a reminder that the closing date to volunteer is 20 August 2021.

3. The aim of the working group will be to look at ways to improve the UC data LAs view and receive; particularly the data that is available on Searchlight and via the UC Local Council Tax Reduction scheme data feed.

4. If you are able to volunteer and/or need further information then do send an email to [email protected] and we will get in touch.

5. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank those LAs who have already volunteered.
