What is the Work Programme?

In June 2010, the Government announced a radical reform of the way welfare to work services would be delivered in the future. The Work Programme consolidates and replaces many of the existing programmes delivered by providers such as A4e and Ingeus.

The main changes in approach are:

1. introducing larger and longer term contracts for providers;
2. a single programme for customers with earlier access for some people after 6 months of unemployment and inclusion of young people;
3. a move to differential pricing with more money for the harder to help; and
4. payment for outcomes using the savings from the revised approach to benefit payments to fund long term sustainable jobs (1, 2 and 3 years).

The Community Access Group was happy to partner with A4e to develop its delivery framework in these challenging times. CAG is involved in developing and delivering high quality employability provision.
