    That doesn't sound good at all. I thought they couldn't put you on a work placement for 6 months?

    Makes sense. :)

    If they do put you on a placement, do you get payed a wage for the amount of work you do? If not it just seems like slave labour otherwise and they know if you decline it you'll get sanctioned. Seems like they really have got you where it hurts!

    That is shocking. How do they get away with this?...

    I really hope I'm not going to be chucked straight into the deep end with my provider!

    They get away with it becasue most people on the work programe sign there rights away by putting there signture on the data protection waiver form and by signing action plans.

    If you did not sign the forms they would not be able to send your cv to placemants.
