- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what small business start-up grants are available to people on the Work Programme.
- Answer
-
Although financial support under the New Enterprise Allowance (NEA) scheme is not available to Work Programme participants, Work Programme providers are free to support participants to set up a business.
A core principle of the Work Programme is that providers are free to offer the interventions they feel are right for the individual, at the right time. This includes providing support and advice on self employment where it is the right option for the individual.
