Work Programme: adjusting referrals In order to support as many people into sustained work as possible, the Department has reviewed the performance delivered by Work Programme providers during the 12 months ending 31 March 2014 and has adjusted from 30 March 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.

WIRRAL Council REGENERATION & ENVIRONMENT POLICY & PERFORMANCE COMMITTEE 3RD DECEMBER 2014 SUBJECT: DWP WORK PROGRAMME WARDS AFFECTED: ALL REPORT OF: STRATEGIC DIRECTOR OF REGENERATION & ENVIRONMENT RESPONSIBLE PORTFOLIO COUNCILLOR PAT HACKETT HOLDER 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 This report provides Members with information on the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Work Programme launched throughout Great Britain in June 2011. Locally DWP has contracted with two ‘prime’ contractors (A4E and Ingeus) to deliver this provision which aims to support local people in receipt of DWP benefits into sustainable employment. The report will provide the latest performance data for delivery in Wirral as published by DWP and will seek to provide comparators where available. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 The DWP Work Programme introduced in June 2011 is a nationally contracted programme which has rolled out a payment by results model on a large scale, where Prime Contractors are paid on sustainable job outcomes. The payments are designed to incentivise the contractors to work with the full range of benefit claimants with larger payments on securing job outcomes and ongoing payments for up to two years for those furthest from the labour market. All referrals to the Work Programme are through Jobcentre Plus. There are different thresholds for referrals to the Work Programme depending on age and benefit type. 2.2 DWP contract with providers over large geographical areas known as Contract Package Areas (CPA) with Wirral being part of the Merseyside, Halton, Cumbria & Lancashire CPA. The payment group for a claimant is the group that Jobcentre Plus assigns the claimant to, on the basis of the benefit they receive.

Bridges Into Work Overview
The Bridges into Work project started in January 2009. Its aim is to support local people gain the skills and confidence to help them move towards employment. The project is part funded by the Welsh European Funding Office across 6 local authorities in Convergence areas of South Wales – Merthyr Tydfil , Rhondda Cynon Taf, Torfaen, Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend and Caerphilly. In Merthyr Tydfil the project is managed and implemented by Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council, which has enjoyed massive success with its recent venture The Neighbourhood Learning Programme. It has helped to engage local people to secure full time employment and to progress onto further learning in recent years. Carrying on from the achievement is the Neighbourhood Learning Centre, Gurnos and the newly established Training Employment Centre in Treharris. Both centres seek to engage with local people from all parts of Merthyr Tydfil and fulfil the Bridges into Work objective of providing encouragement, training, advice and guidance for socially excluded people with the view to get them back into work. The Neighbourhood Learning Centre has a range of training facilities covering a variety of sectors including plumbing, painting and decorating, carpentry, bricklaying, plastering, retail, customer service and computer courses. There are a team of experienced tutors who deliver training for local people within the community. Bridges into Work successfully delivered a Pre-Employment course for Cwm Taf Health Trust to recruit Health Care Assistants. With the help and support of the Neighbourhood Learning Pre-Employment Partnership fronted by the Bridges into Work Programme which includes organisations such as Voluntary Action Merthyr Tydfil, Remploy, Working Links, Shaw Trust, A4E, JobCentre Plus and JobMatch successfully provided and supported participants interested in becoming Health Care Assistants.

Dear Mr Kelly, Freedom of Information Request Reference Number FOI 267
Dear Mr Kelly, Freedom of Information Request reference number FOI 267 We write further to the Court of Appeal judgment in Department for Work and Pensions v Information Commissioner & Frank Zola, to which your case was joined. The judgment was handed down on Wednesday 27 July 2016. The Court of Appeal has upheld the decision of the First-tier Tribunal in Department of Work and Pensions v Information Commissioner & Frank Zola [2013]. We write, in light of the judgment, in response to your Freedom of Information request of 2012. In your request you asked for: “the names of all organizations who have provided work boost placements, work experience, or other unpaid work activity to customers of Seetec within Contract Package Area 4 (East London) within the past 12 months. In cases where a subcontractor to Seetec was involved, please note which subcontractor or subcontractors were involved with each organization.”. Contract Package Area 4 (East London) is a Work Programme Contract Package Area. Three providers deliver the Work Programme in Contract Package Area 4 (East London): Peopleplus, Shaw Trust and Seetec. You asked for the organisations that provided work placements to Seetec. DWP contracts with prime providers, such as Seetec, to source organisations who delivered the Work Programme. Some of these providers may have sent claimants on work experience placements. DWP does not contract directly with these work experience placement hosts. We have enclosed all the information we were given by Seetec in relation to your request. A copy of this letter has also been sent to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

DWP Central Freedom of InformationAnnex ATeam e-mail: [email protected] Our Ref: FOI 699 01 March 2012 Annex A Dear Mr Smith, Thank you for your Freedom of Information request which we received on 16 February 2012. In that request, you asked: Please could you provide a list of organisations signed up to provide unpaid work placements under the Mandatory Work Activity and Mandatory Work Programme schemes as referred by Jobcentre Plus, and the name of the linked providers in the Poole and Bournemouth area. The information you have requested is being withheld under Section 43(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, this exemption relates to the commercial interests of the Department for Work and Pensions and any other company or organisation delivering services on our behalf. I consider that the exemption applies because disclosure could, or would be likely to, prejudice the commercial interests of companies providing work-experience placements and the ability of the Department and its contracted providers to work in partnership with these companies to secure such opportunities. In line with the Department’s transparency commitments, we have previously provided information about companies who participate in a number of our programmes that offer work experience, where we can collect this information without disproportionate cost. However, we are now invoking the exemption because it has become clear in recent weeks that there are a minority of people who appear to be seeking to undermine the goodwill of employers who are prepared to offer opportunities to unemployed people by attempting to harm those companies’ commercial interests.
