DebiT was just explaining about 'why the work programme is illegal', rustyjemma.

If DebiT works for the jobcentre or one of these work programme providers, I'm sure he/she will be able to answer your question.

Thank you everyone for answering my original question, things are much clearer now, but thankfully I have now been offered a permanent contract, so that's me done

Dont get personal with me, if you had read the reply correctly, you would have seen that the person who spoke to me thought I was replying to her post, which I was not. If you get your facts wrong like this in your legal capacity, I pity your clients.

I read your post correctly - it doesn't matter who you or she thought you were replying to - this is a public forum and what you say is said in public. And my clients are fine thank you - how's your job?

(b) any service of a military character or, in the case of conscientiousobjectors in countries where they are recognised, service exacted instead ofcompulsory military service;
(c) any service exacted in case of an emergency or calamity threatening thelife or well-being of the community;

The Government is all happy with handouts. But prefers the recipients of these handouts to be large,profitable corporations rather than hard-up members of the public.
