DASKEREL brings career preparation into one learner-controlled journey. It does not replace Universal Credit, Jobcentre Plus, DWP providers, local authorities or employers, and it never submits an official claim, referral or benefit decision.

System comparison
| Capability | UK public and contracted systems | DASKEREL improvement |
|---|---|---|
| One joined learner journey | Functions are distributed across several accounts, providers and local services. | One learner-owned plan joins learning, evidence, applications, accessibility, referrals and sustained outcomes. |
| Actions and communication | Universal Credit uses formal to-dos and a journal; providers maintain their own action plans and records. | Editable actions, a private progress journal and appointment preparation, with no benefit-compliance function. |
| Referrals and coordination | Programme eligibility, referral and provider-payment records sit in statutory or contracted systems. | Learner-visible referral status and consent to coordinate, without claiming eligibility or submitting official referrals. |
| Health and accessibility | Access to Work, WorkWell and Connect to Work provide distinct routes for work and health support. | A diagnosis-free functional passport connects learning, interview and workplace preparation while keeping disclosure optional. |
| Employers and opportunities | Find a Job and Jobcentre employer services cover vacancies, trials and recruitment support. | Verified employers, consent-gated evidence, role projects, application preparation and retention checkpoints. |
| Decision safeguards | DWP and authorised decision makers retain benefit, conditionality and programme authority. | No automated sanctions, benefit decisions or hiring decisions; explainable preparation tools always allow human review. |
