These projects are currently being piloted in Leicester and at the Maudsley Hospital in Camberwell, located in south-east London. Below is a link from the South London and Maudsley NHS website that may be useful for your assembly. I believe presenting this information will provide a more balanced perspective.
Additionally, under the "Information for Carers" section, it is clearly stated that Work Well services are voluntary and that referrals are only accepted from individuals who seek assistance in finding or maintaining employment.

voluntary is good, voluntary is wise anything else would be shot down and they know it.
just saw a fb post about Angela Raynor and.many others panicking and kicking off about the budget I think Reeves will have a miserable time doing anything at all to us

Let's really hope it is voluntary, maybe the work coaches will only be visiting people who are getting better and are close to leaving the hospital and if that person has consented to it.
If not and there are sanctions, what hope do people like myself with mental health issues (severe anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts) have who are on LCWRA and not hospitalised?

Rayner is revolting against the budget cuts to the social housing fund. Every minister looking out for their own interests and that of their friends who they have promised contracts to.

The link you posted is dated May 7, 2024, which reflects the Conservative government's explanation of the scheme.
The WorkWell schemes currently being piloted in mental health hospitals under Labour are clearly voluntary.

any pressure on reeves to make this budget a hard time for her suits me fine, the more stress, scandals and backlash the better

100 percent agree

I just hope we don't lose any lives over this. At the end of the day, we shouldn't have to have human sacrifices to precipitate change.

Smirking Angela Rayner leading a revolt?
Does anyone actually believe this pantomime?

I read that Labour are "following through" with Tory plans to change the Work Capability Assessments, that the figures of 3 billion or 1.5 billion according to the Financial Times are "baked into" Treasure statistics/plans.
Liz Kendall will be tasked to change the WCA rather than continuing Mel Stride's changes.
Then if I remember current claimants of LCWRA won't be affected unless their circumstances change.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

we will unless she and Kendall are reigned in, I myself have a plan to exit either UC or the world as a last resort that's why my mum has offered to "keep me" if need be after the budget
