Flexible Support Fund
(asked on 8th July 2014) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to monitor uptake of the Flexible Support Fund available to Jobcentre Plus managers.
This question was answered on 14th July 2014
The Flexible Support Fund (FSF) provides additional support to Jobcentre Plus Districts to address local issues. In monitoring this, FSF spend is broken down nationally by claimant groups and Districts may further break this down if they determine this is a local priority.
All spending decisions are assessed against established criteria including value for money. Payments are encouraged on an outcome basis linked to employment.
