  2. Universal Credit Network (UCN)

Universal Credit Network (UCN)

The Universal Credit Network (UCN) is a quarterly meeting for people working in charities and public facing community organisations that work with Universal Credit claimants on the front-line. At the UCN, attendees have the opportunity to meet with UC experts and have their concerns and queries regarding UC answered.

The UCN aims to provide functional knowledge of the Universal Credit system and fill in grey areas of knowledge and know-how that staff might need when working with claimants.


To join the Universal Credit Network please email sari@communitysouthwark.org with your name, email, organisation and role and we will add you to our mailing list.
