Work Programme: adjusting referrals
In order to support as many people into sustained work as possible, the Department reviewed the performance delivered by Work Programme providers during the 12 months ending 31 March 2015 and adjusted from 21 September 2015 the distribution of future referrals so that in the relevant payment groups and Contract Package Areas the higher performing provider receives an increased share and the lowest performing provider a decreased share.
