Petition Action

Disband the DWP. Create a new social security system.

Petition Details

DWP policies cause poverty & hardship. Systemic problems and unfair rules harm vulnerable people. We need a new, compassionate system that prioritizes dignity & respect, helps people find and keep jobs, and provides a strong safety net. The new system must be transparent, accountable and efficient.

Additional Information

The DWP's failures are evident in:

Increased food bank use.
Negative impact on mental health.
Flawed disability assessments.
Scandals and controversies that have eroded public trust.

A new system must prioritize:

Dignity and respect for all.
Support to find and keep jobs, with a strong safety net.
Transparency and accountability.
Efficiency in service delivery.
Disbanding the DWP and building a new system will create a social safety net that truly supports everyone in the UK.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you want to disband the DWP, but we're not sure exactly what you want the new system to be like.
