We give our clients an exit review before they return to the JCP, a few of my clients have had letters or even seen their JCP Advisor before the exit review, it's best to attend.

If you didn't attend I wouldn't put a santion through, I would just make a note in your review that you FTA and leave it for the JCP to sort out.



The amount of money makes no difference, if its unfair, its unfair nor am I talking about justification. What I'm saying is we knowingly sign up to it and as a result, we have a means to survive so though it may be a horrible experience, it is keeping food on the table (and possibly a roof to cover that table).

Yes, and i know a god few people who have compiled a 2 year list of total !!!! dished out to them by work programme providers which will be heading to all MP's and the parliamentary committee which have been keen to hear what "constructive" things WP providers and jc+ have been doing to enhance anyones way back into work.We all know the answer but it would seem the people who first compiled this pile of crap dont.

People sign up to this crap as they have no choice. Its been designed by self righteous bloody minded politicians with nothing else to do, and whats sure is they haven't a clue how to fix this country in its economic mess.Its easier to slag the unemployed and blame them ,workers vs shirkers and all that.

So exit reports work both ways.

Do you have to give them access to your UJM Account? They keep asking me and i don't bother giving them it. Do i even have to give them it?

They have access to mine.

I think at some point it will become compulsory and once they have access they check your old searches/applications. Sanctions will be then applied if your log doesn't show enough evidence of your job searches.

That's your choice to make Damalt. But anyone who does give the Jobcentre access is just asking to be sanctioned and as it's NOT mandatory you'd have to have a screw loose to give them access voluntarily! :doh:
