Like many organisations delivering the Work Programme, we are hugely reliant on finding work for ESA claimants to make the programme economically viable. However we are not getting to support these people into employment as they are appealing the decision. Yet we are seeing many people claiming JSA on our Work Programme; people with many complex issues in need of intensive support – that is of course costly- but we get funded very little to provide this support.
