Team leader checks
The work coach must have a team leader case conference before making any Labour Market decision maker [sanction]referrals.
The case conference must take place with a team leader and should only be delegated to a deputy if the team leader is
unavailable.
The team leader must be satisfied that the agreed requirement was appropriate at the time of the failure and that all
safeguards (including the additional local and national public health guidelines) have been taken into account.
The outcome of the team leader case conference must be recorded in ‘Claimant history’.
