Training
and Support
The Independent
Review Service provides a range of free training and support, to welfare rights
groups, Jobcentre Plus staff and others.
These include:
Workshops at Your Place of Business
These are free
workshops on a range of Social Fund subjects. These are usually half day or
full day sessions, but can be tailored to your requirements. All we ask is for
you to provide a venue and a number of attendees. If you are a small
organisation, you could consider teaming up with another organisation to
co-host the session. These workshops are available to welfare rights groups and
also to Jobcentre Plus or Pension Service employees. Click on the link on the

Self-Instruction Packages
These allow you
to work through a training package at your own time and pace - ideal for
individuals where workshops are not practical. Click on the link on the left to
be taken to the list of available packages. You can download these or request
them to be posted to you. There is no charge for these packages.
Social Fund Commissioner's
Advice
The Social Fund Commissioner issues advice on how to interpret
and apply the main Social Fund Directions. This advice, as used by IRS
Inspectors, is available free of charge from this website. Click on the link on
