Locations include: • Community centres including in social housing • Schools, Surestart and Children’s centres • Shops • Old people’s homes and Sheltered Housing • Mosques, churches, religious buildings • Farms • Pubs • Homeless shelters and hostels • Libraries • AND …. Lots of going out to people where they are

  18. Relationship with Job centre Plus *There were over 4000 partner centres by Mar 2011. Source: 2010-11 Centre satisfaction survey

  19. So..... Must be right to move social security online. But there is a significant challenge in moving people online, and then a further challenge in getting them comfortable enough to interact with Government online. It won’t happen by accident, but the good news is there are great examples to build on.
