Improving links with Jobcentre Plus

Introduction

Together for Children (TfC) held a workshop in July 2007 which brought together representatives from Local Authorities, Children’s Centres, Jobcentre Plus, the Department for Work and Pensions and the Department for Children, Schools and Families.

The output from the workshop is this suite of products which are designed to be used by colleagues in Local Authorities and in Jobcentre Plus as they work together to deliver Children’s Centres and services in their communities.  

We hope that you find these products useful. If you have any feedback you would like to offer or would like a hard copy of these resources please contact us at mail@togetherforchildren.co.uk
