I am subject to conditionality, and am worried about sanctions. I am a single parent of two, one of my children is in primary school. He already attends breakfast club and the after school club during school days. Recently I have increased my hours to meet the potential minimum income threshold of £812. Instead the government have decided the main parent must work at least 30 hours. This is four extra hours I must find on top of my week. My anxiety is spiralling. How will I find these extra hours? It was difficult enough to find a job suited to working around the wrap around care. Not to mention the cost of childcare during the school breaks. I’m expecting to receive notification of a job centre meeting soon.
