flag UK to proactively help 2 million sick benefit recipients return to work with support and training.

flag Jobcentres across the UK will proactively contact individuals on sickness benefits as part of a new government initiative aimed at helping them return to work. flag The effort, led by Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden, targets around two million people, including those with long-term conditions like mental health issues and back problems, offering skills training and employment support. flag The program, part of a broader push to reduce welfare dependency and increase workforce participation, focuses on those not currently required to seek work. flag While specific rollout details and funding remain unclear, the government highlights that voluntary support can significantly improve employment outcomes. flag The initiative is part of a larger strategy to boost national employment rates and reform the social security system.
