Read the original article on standard.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Evening Standard reports the Government's expansion of its youth jobs scheme, with eligibility cut from 18 to 12 months on universal credit, alongside Alan Milburn's forthcoming review on young people not in work, education or training. It attributes each claim to the person or department that made it and gives space to Labour ministers, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“The DWP’s existing scheme is called the “jobs guarantee” but does not include a legal duty.”
The Standard separates the Government's branding from what the scheme actually commits to. A reader does not mistake the word "guaranteed" in S2 for the legal guarantee Milburn is calling for.
“Officials have said funding for the programme comes from the Government’s wider £2.5 billion employment support package.”
The funding figure is attributed to officials and placed within the wider package. The Standard does not present it as new money.
“have voiced concerns over the extent of future support after Mr Milburn suggested some could receive fewer benefits”
The Standard reports that the review may cut some young people's benefits and that Labour MPs object. The announcement is not presented only on the Government's terms.
