  • Work Programme Supply Chains
    Work Programme Supply Chains The information contained in the table below reflects updates and changes to the Work Programme supply chains and is correct as at 30 September 2013. It is published in the interests of transparency. It is limited to those in supply chains delivering to prime providers as part of their tier 1 and 2 chains. Definitions of what these tiers incorporate vary from prime provider to prime provider. There are additional suppliers beyond these tiers who are largely to be called on to deliver one off, unique interventions in response to a particular participants needs and circumstances. The Department for Work and Pensions fully anticipate that supply chains will be dynamic, with scope to flex and evolve to reflect change within the labour market and participant needs. The Department intends to update this information at regular intervals (generally every 6 months) dependant on time and resources available. In addition to the Merlin standard, a robust process is in place for the Department to approve any supply chain changes and to ensure that the service on offer is not compromised or reduced. Comparison between the corrected March 2013 stock take and the September 2013 figures shows a net increase in the overall number of organisations in the supply chains across all sectors. The table below illustrates these changes Sector Number of organisations in the supply chain Private At 30 September 2013 - 367 compared to 351 at 31 March 2013 Public At 30 September 2013 - 128 compared to 124 at 30 March 2013 Voluntary or Community (VCS) At 30 September 2013 - 363 compared to 355 at 30 March 2013 Totals At 30 September 2013 - 858 organisations compared to 830 at March 2013.

  • The Social and Political Significance of Workfare in the United Kingdom a Normative Human Rights Critique
    SCHOOL OF ADVANCED STUDY - UNIVERSITY OF LONDON The Social and Political Significance of Workfare in the United Kingdom A Normative Human Rights Critique Eleanor Hinton LLB This dissertation is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the following degree: MA Understanding and Securing Human Rights at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London. Date of Submission: 03.09.2012 Abstract This paper provides a critical analysis of the workfare schemes introduced by the coalition government. Workfare is presented as the product of neoliberal ideologies that have introduced notions of conditions and reciprocity to the realisation of traditionally entitlement-based rights. The history of the welfare state is assessed from a political- economic perspective. It is suggested that the rationale behind the schemes is fuelled by political and corporate motivations, which effectively subordinate the importance of human rights. This new social contract is explored from different philosophical perspectives of economic and social rights. Evidence of corporate and political reactions to social pressure suggest that civil society can be effective in discouraging decisions that pose a threat to human rights standards. The compatibility of workfare schemes with a normative understanding of specific rights is assessed. The study concludes that workfare constitutes a serious threat to human rights, signifying the erosion of the British welfare state, and hence basic welfare entitlements. There is a strong
