We list Department for Work and Pensions consultations and other consultations by the year they started. The latest consultations for each year are at the top.
Most DWP consultations are formal public consultations – in line with the Government’s Code of Practice on Consultation.

Other publications here may include (labelled from 2008):
- Informal call for evidence – an informal exercise seeking the views of members of the public and stakeholders
- DWP-related consultation – a consultation not published by DWP but related to its interests. For example, a joint or cross-government consultation.
DWP website content is normally available for the current and the previous calendar year. Older web material is available from the Electronic archive.
