Details

In spring/summer 2023, the Department for Work and Pensions carried out exploratory research on six co-located jobcentres across England and Wales. Co-located jobcentres share a permanent lease agreement with other external organisation(s).

The research aimed to understand what co-located models look like, the challenges of using sites, and to capture a variety of experiences across specific geographical contexts and models.

While the research aimed to include a range of co-location models and experience, findings cannot be generalised to all co-located sites as all sites shared a similar model of co-location.
