Commission on Social Security published its Plan

Since 2018 the Commission on Social Security has been working on a plan for a decent social security system in the UK. The Commission has adopted a consensus building and participatory model and its work was supported by four secretariat members, including IER's Michael Orton.

The Commission has recently published its Plan calling for major changes, for example, replacing Universal Credit with a ‘Guaranteed Decent Income’ for all and the introduction of a new disability benefit. The Plan is available in a written and an audio version and it is accompanied by a Project Report and a Technical Note, that contain further details and the statistical modelling of the impact of the Commission’s proposals.
