Keynote speaker:
John Hutton MP, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions


A major conference on the future of the New Deals for young people and
adults - taking forward the debate on how welfare programmes can and
should be reformed.

John Hutton MP, Secretary of State will make a keynote speech looking at
the future of the New Deals and how they fit in the wider welfare reform
debate. Other keynote speakers will debate the changes they think are
needed and what the future New Deals should look like.

Conference questions are:

¢ How can we significantly improve job entries for long-term JSA
claimants
¢ How can we improve sustained employment and reduce New Deal
returners
¢ Should there be a more personalised approach
¢ How can the New Deals better meet the needs of the most
disadvantaged
¢ Should local partners be enabled to adapt New Deal to the needs of
their local economy?

Inclusion are asking people their views on the New Deal through a short
on-line survey, and we hope to release the results at the conference.
