Jo Churchill
The Minister of State, Department for Work and Pensions
On 19 February we introduced a new food charity signposting slip. This does not change DWP signposting policy but improves the signposting slip to better comply with our obligations under GDPR. The new slip provides customers with information on where they might access emergency food locally and how to access wider support.
