- address participants significant barriers to work
- provide back to work support to assist participants to gain sustained employment
The problems faced by individuals and families will vary between localities and, in order to be effective, progress measures should reflect these local and family needs.

Progress measures must include as a minimum, but are not limited to, those that fall under the following areas:

- interventions to tackle work-related barriers
- addressing health and housing-related barriers
Progress measures must cover development in the areas set out above. Providers may also offer other appropriate and substantive progress measures.
