Redundancy Support for Employers and Employees

Jobcentre Plus will provide support and advice to employers and employees in redundancy situations through its Rapid Response Service.

Support could include:

– helping people facing redundancy to write CVs and find jobs

– providing general information about benefits

– helping people to find the right training and learn new skills

– helping with costs like travel to work expenses

There are a number of local and national advice and support. Some delivered directly by DWP and others including Careers Advice, ESF training schemes, or support through your local council.  DWP works with those schemes to signpost in the most appropriate way.

If you need to get in touch with Jobcentre Plus to discuss what redundancy support is available please email: rrs.enquiries@dwp.gov.uk
