This question was answered on 22nd June 2015
The Work Programme is succeeding. It is helping push long-term unemployment to its lowest level in over 5 years, and is transforming people’s lives.
But some people complete the programme without finding sustainable jobs. In April 2014 we introduced the intensive Help to Work package of support for these people. The programme is designed to quickly address claimants’ remaining barriers to work.
