## Resource

The Milburn Review is set to unleash a major overhaul this summer, tackling why nearly a million young people with health conditions are stuck outside education, employment, or training. Chair Sir Steve Milburn calls the current state “shameful,” blaming systemic failures across welfare, schools, and health services — and warning we’re spending more to keep youth on benefits than to get them working. Critics like Disability Rights UK fear the review could justify cutting Universal Credit for young people, but the goal is clear: shift focus from handouts to real pathways into learning and earning — with a final report due by summer 2026.
