I will be careful for not getting infraction but sometimes certain posters very indigious Im alright jack atitude. Treat all who unemployed/disabled as bit of nasty stuff which they pick up on shoe and smell.

Go look in mirror se that chip on the shoulder dont hurt you.

That when evidence come up they instantly call all lazy my god what nasty nation we become.

The evidence is there that this scheme is being used by a number organisations to rip off the taxpayer. Hell lets go yippee its all those who at fault went on failed to get work they was lazy bunch scroungers heh. No only scroungers here are Emma Harrison earned herself well more like stealing 8 million taxpayers money.

Your so blinded by delusional selfish atitudes and stereotyping that your blind that a scheme set up is fraudently ripping off the country.

Hugh if they right it working then let them prove it with actual figures. Claiming credit people getting work how many did on own back without these parasites. How many those they put in work worked more 6 months.

Nice rational discussion - so if people don't agree with you, that's what you think of them?

Do you mean these figures?

On the face of it, the Government Job Outcome figures were poor. However, there is a more promising picture building in the pipeline. By the end of September 2012, ERSA figures show that the industry had helped 207,831 individual jobseekers into work, with 29% of those who started the Work Programme in June 2012 having found employment. The rate at which providers were helping jobseekers into work has also rapidly improved. In February 2012, that was running at about 11,000 in month; by September this had doubled to over 22,000.

Or these?

The Government figures published today show that at least 56 per cent of the scheme’s earliest participants have come off benefits, with 19 per cent spending at least six consecutive months off benefits.

The Work Programme was launched in June 2011 and involves private and voluntary sector organisations being paid according to their success in helping the long-term unemployed back into work. More than 200,000 participants had been found some work by September, according to data published by the Employment Related Services Association (ERSA).

By the end of July 2012, 31,000 people had remained in a job for several months – most for six months and some harder-to-help claimants for at least three months.

Industry analysis of the programme shows the taxpayer pays significantly less for each participant on the Work Programme than under previous schemes, like the Future New Deal, where providers were paid up front regardless of whether they delivered results.

The ERSA data shows every job started so far has cost £2,097, compared to £7,495 per job under the Flexible New Deal.
