CBI report - 'Tackling worklessness: a joined-up approach to welfare to work'

This was indirectly referenced in a newswire a couple of weeks back, but the CBI website has videos of some of your favourite welfare to work managers talking about reform. The report itself is over here.

Recommendations include:

• Introducing an early screening system to allow people to access intensive employment support before the current 12 months
• Assigning a minister in the Cabinet Office and their permanent secretary responsibility for ensuring a joined-up approach to tackling worklessness
• Using the Flexible New Deal to bring a wider range of services together
• The AME-DEL accounting reform, where funds provisionally allocated for future benefits spending are transferred into employment programmes, should be fast-tracked and take into account a broader range of savings
