We are seeking views from customer representative organisations to help us develop the new Work Programme.


The Work Programme is part of the radical reforms the Government has announced for the welfare to work system. It will be an integrated package of support providing personalised help for a wide range of customers – from Jobseeker’s Allowance recipients who have been out of work for some time, to customers who may previously have been receiving incapacity benefits for many years.


The Government has already received numerous suggestions and comments about the design and delivery of the Work Programme from customers and their representatives. We have launched this forum to get the views of customer representative groups on specific questions. Your views will feed into regulations we are preparing.


We will consider all your comments and we will publish a brief online summary after this forum closes.

With many being migrated from Incapacity Benefit to Employment and Support Allowance. Where the claim places them in a group with work-related activity they will be able to access the Work Programme immediately (rather than after 1 year).  This is your oppourtunity to express a view on the planned work related support programme you may end up using.

Welfare-to-work programme is a road block in PM's devolution

"A new report by the Institute for Public Policy Research (ippr) shows that despite promising to devolve power, the Coalition government’s flagship welfare-to-work programme does nothing to change one of the most highly centralised welfare systems in the world."
