As part of the UK Government's aim to get 500,000 unemployed people back into work by June, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has launched its new Way to Work scheme.

The initiative will see new rules in place that will mean Universal Credit claimants have a shorter time to find a job before facing sanctions.
