Work Programme

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether participants in the Work Programme are required to attend meetings at jobcentres during their work placement.

Throughout a participant’s time with their Work Programme provider, Jobcentre Plus will continue to see them to check they are meeting their conditions for claiming benefits, if applicable. It is the provider’s responsibility to ensure that nothing they require of participants prevents them from attending these appointments.
