If unemployment is up due to a low/reduced demand for goods/services in the economy the government will have to try policies that increase AD. An increase in aggregate demand (shift the AD curve to the right) will lead to employers being more willing to employ more people (they basically have to employ more people in order to fulfil the demand in the economy). They can either lower taxes to encourage people to spend more, or increase government spending (this is a good time to spend on services-education, health). Increased government spending will boost AD and even create jobs itself, because people will be required to work on government projects (think of builders building new hospitals/clinics/schools etc).

The government could also try decreasing aggregate supply in the market-this is when a government would increase import taxes and create barriers to incoming trade, so people are less likely to import their goods into the UK. This decrease in aggregate supply (because foreign imports have been lowered) would lead to more demand for domestic goods to fulfill the supply expected.
