At what point are you pushed to go on these work programes I keep hearing about? I will be honest from the stories I hear, the thought of it fills me with dread.

I think they're planning to put all those who don't gain employment onto the Community Action Programme, which they are currently trialling, where you work on "community projects" for 40 hours a week for six months. Then probably back to the Work Programme.it lasts 104 weeks yet no one has said what comes after0 -
