Job coaches for mentally ill in hospital settings - BBC

Liz Kendall should be classed as not being fit for work herself as she's clearly a danger to some of the general public (us) due to her mental issues (cruelness, no compassion, no empathy, etc).
Put her in the support group where she wont be a danger to anyone.

I don't think this will get off the ground. The people who are in those units, are there for thier own and everyone else's safety and the staff are trained. I don't think they'll take kindly to a DWP goon trying to come in to hassle residents into taking up work.
Liz Kendall is on another planet.

There are many people in these units who are not only emotionally extremely unstable but have high degrees of paranoia towards anyone,be it staff,those in authority(doctors/government/DWP etc) or other patients. To be coerced to engage in this state could end very badly,for all and create new levels of trauma for patients.It would have to be ONLY on a non pressured ,voluntary basis, if at all.

Feels like Labour are playing good cop bad cop. On the one hand, you've got Stephen Timms giving PIP claimants peace of mind by saying that vouchers won't be happening, then you've got Liz Kendall coming out with this ****, putting the fear of God in vulnerable people!
We all know this will never happen, but she doesn't have an ounce of compassion in her!
These are human beings!

I'm no expert or anything, but I'm pretty sure this ridiculous proposal could have some serious legal repercussions for the DWP.
Anyone who has spent time in hospital knows how strict they are with regards to visitation. Most times it's only family members who are allowed, and this never happened with me but if it's someone you don't know, don't you have to give some kind of consent?
I imagine very few hospitals would stand for some work coach just waltzing in and demanding access to patients. And surely this would be interfering in the doctor patient relationship, and also infringing on patient's privacy?
I have no experience of being sectioned, but I imagine the visitation rules in those hospitals are even stricter? Surely they don't just let strangers in to see patients?
This clearly hasn't been thought through properly and could potentially have disastrous consequences.
Honestly if i God forbid made another suicide attempt and got visited by some idiot from a jobcentre to discuss writing my CV, I would tell them, and pardon my french, to go f**k themselves.

This women needs a good talking too. She needs to know what it's like with any disability. I fought for 20 odd years with myself and managed to work with depression and anxiety. As I believed the routine would be better for me. After being told by one of my last employers I couldn't amend times I worked ( needed to go in on earlier less crowded bus) as she didn't see mh as a disability I founde it harder. Ended up on diazapam to get on bus and still struggled, i no longer use public transport and only leave my house if necessary. My body eventually just told me enough. Does this women look at how many have actually worked previously and then had to stop. Does she not realise we know how to write cvs? We definitely don't need some jumped up self important person telling us how to do this especially those who need hospital care. Maybe we should send her all the discussions that have been on scope alone where we are all worrying.

Has she said anything about their plans for people with MH issues who have never been sectioned? This whole "some people will lose their benefits" quote has me really worried.

oh look, the results of voting for Labour during the 2024 election are now becoming obvious to more people.
i imagine a lot of people who voted Labour to "get the Tories out" now realise how much egg they have on their face.
It was obvious the Labour party - now controlled by the hard right - were going to push stuff like this the moment they entered power. The evidence has been online for years. Most people chose not to listen.

You obviously didn't hear Robert Jenrick's speech about benefits yesterday then. He attacked the disabled in the most despicable way any politician has so far. His plans for us are chilling. Barry Gardiner's response was magnificent. (Politics Live, bbc2, 11.15 am yesterday)
