What Works? Welfare Reform in Kirkcaldy
Created: 13/12/2017, Updated: 14/12/2017New Collaborative Research on what partners can do to mitigate Welfare Reform in Fife is now available from What Works Scotland.
As part of the What Works Scotland Collaborative Action Research Programme in Fife a group of practitioners in Kirkcaldy came together as a Partnership Innovation Team (PIT) to explore.
How can they improve their knowledge of what data is available across partner agencies in Fife? And how can they use this to prevent people from being sanctioned, and better support those who have been sanctioned?
Through a Kirkcaldy Welfare Reform Event, they used vignettes to research what was and was not working in Fife around Welfare Reform. Findings include:
Knowledge
Data Protection
Referrals
Resources
You can read more about the enquiry in Kirkcaldy through Gary Smith’s reflections on the What Works Scotland Blog.
The reports from the Welfare Reform PIT are available here.
