Patrick Butler writes in the Guardian that the Work Programme is not working for young people. He then goes on to review an evaluation of New Deal of the Mind, which found outcomes for 70% of customers. His article is a critique of the Prime/subcontractor relationship, particularly with regard to the voluntary sector's involvement, or lack of it, as he sees it. Is this a fair criticism of the Work Programme? Was it designed to support voluntary sector provision?
Are you being TUPE'd to one of G4S's subbys for the Work Programme? Our team are in Yorkshire and Humberside and are being refused TUPE rights from FND to Work Programme and would like to know details of who you are being TUPE'd to and if this is end to end provision (they are doing all or part of the delivery). We are trying to make contact with anyone who is being refused TUPE for whatever reason directly from FND or indeed has been included on a TUPE list to one of G4S's subbys who are not delivering end to end provision. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

It just gets worse....
Now, instead of filling in 5-10 subcontractor forms in each CPA, you have to fill in 20+ in each, but that's after you have filled in the waste-of-time-tell-you-nothing DWP standard info sharing template. So, its double the form filling, less time and three times as many forms to get through for FND2.
