Seetec work programme info

Hi, just wanted some info on the seetec work programme, as I have been put on this mandatory work am on jsa. Can anyone give me any info of what happens, and what the hours are as I was told i have to work 30 hours a week but I rang seetec up today and they told me you only work for 20 hours a week because I have children, is this correct. Also my children have half term next week will I still have to do the programme then. Look forward to hearing what you know. Emily

Hi Emily, regarding the half-term holidays you are better off talking to the Jobcentre ASAP.
According to the guidance set for Seetec and other providers, they should have been made aware of any restrictions whenever the Jobcentre referred you to them and I would consider having no available child-care for a week a pretty big restriction.
Good luck.
