"For example, under section 17 of the Welfare Reform Act
2012 certain UC claimants can be required to take particular action to obtain
paid work.
"This action can include creating and maintaining an online
profile.
"That provision is used to require some UC claimants to create
a profile and public CV in UJ (section 17(3)(c)).
"No legislation specifically
mentions UJ.
"However, that would not be necessary because the provisions mentioned above give DWP the
power to make the requirement. "
