Policy and Advisory

The Policy and Advisory team at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) develops, evaluates, and advises on policies related to welfare, pensions, and child maintenance. They work to understand the root causes of poverty, create strategies to encourage employment and independence among disabled individuals, and ensure financial security for pensioners. Key members, such as the Level 1 Knowledge and Capability Manager, Deputy Director of Fraud, Error & Debt, and Senior Policy Advisor, collaborate to provide expert guidance and drive initiatives that improve policy execution and reduce fraud and errors.
