The Welfare Reform Act delivers far-reaching changes to the funding and role of individuals and organisations engaged in the benefits system.

Our Delivering Housing Benefit Reform Conference provides delegates with essential guidance on effective implementation of the reform, addressing the challenges faced in delivering Universal Credit, effectively managing under occupancy and mitigating the financial risk in implementing direct payments.
