Welfare to work
The Work Programme
The Government launched the Work Programme nationally in June 2011, ahead of schedule. The Work Programme is the biggest payment by results employment programme we have ever seen and along with the introduction of Universal Credit it is the focus of the Government’s drive to tackle long term unemployment.
The Committee’s report is supportive of most of the principles of the Work Programme but highlights some areas where the Committee have concerns.
