the training rooms at the local wp provider only have capacity for a small number of people. they dont all have computers in them either.

Yes but the DWP is throwing £300 million at this. Do you really think a small thing like a lack of computers is going to stop the providers drooling over that little jackpot?

they do not have the capacity within the building they are at. most of the areas are used for wp activities anyway.

I thought the whole point was to reduce the benefits not increase them.

The work programme providers are failing, so they won't be getting much income from job outcome payments. IDS had to invent a way of bunging them a few more hundred million to keep them going until universal credit is rolled out, once they start getting referral payments from UC claimants (part-time workers), their income should be boosted. The £300 million is a stop gap.

Don't they get £400 for every person though

It adds up plus they claim all the fares back too

Say 16,000 go to one provider that's £6,000,000!!!

Yes, around £400 just for a referral from the Jobcentre before any input whatsoever.

That's around half of A4E's Emma Harrison dividends over two years, plus around £1,000,000 just for one of the directors over the same period. They are sucking up taxpayers' money with a hoover and filling sacks with it.

I just used 16k people as an example as there was a thread on here a long time ago with a figure like that for the initial people on the WP at one provider or there about.

If a company are getting £6million for doing nothing at all its no wonder they want the contracts. If builders bid for contracts and then took the £ and didn't fulfil the contract they would go bust but seems the WP providers are raking it in!

Tax payers in the UK are deluded and do not know the amounts of ££ thrown at the WP.
