Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what training has been provided to staff working on the Kickstart scheme.

Modular learning products have been delivered to support each stage of the Kickstart process, from applications through to employer payments. All products are designed to work as either self-learning or facilitated material and are supported by additional workplace learning - detailed guidance is also provided through the gov.uk Kickstart webpages.
