This Amendment Paper amends the Social Security Amendment Bill. This amendment ensures that community work experience is only imposed when the Ministry of Social Development is confident that the voluntary work will develop the beneficary’s skills to support future work or training, and that there is an appropriate health and safety management plan so that the sanctioned beneficary is kept safe when volunteering. Neither beneficiaries or volunteer organisations will benefit if their involvement is only a punishment and the beneficiary sees no benefit from the work experience.
