Recommendation implemented 4.2 The department is committed to refreshing its evidence base and recently published its Evidence and Evaluation Strategy 2025. Goal 1 outlines how research and evaluation will inform our Labour Market reforms. 4.3 The Get Britain Working White Paper outlined that the department is running two Universal Credit trials to understand the impact on claimant employment outcomes of: • work search review meetings using different channels, • fewer work search review meetings for the first 13 weeks. 4.4 The trials are being evaluated via impact and process evaluations.
