Review and change Universal Credit identity checks

Background

End the use of identity checks on Universal Credit claimants such as passport selfies, doorstep photos and images of people's homes. We call for proportionate, dignified alternatives.

Additional details

Some claimants may be asked to photograph their passport next to their face and open their front door for photos. We believe this is humiliating, raises safeguarding and security risks, and could be discriminatory. Claimants are not criminals. They are vulnerable people who depend on this support to survive.
