The Work Programme in Wales

The Committee invites written submissions and requests observations on the following issues:

• the development of the Work Programme in Wales and its payment-by results model for contractors;

• the impact of the new payment model on welfare-to-work contractors, and whether there is effective collaboration between Work Programme providers;

• whether jobseekers on the scheme are able to access the full range of services they require; and

• whether the scheme is embedded in local areas and responsive to the needs of different communities.

The Committee is particularly interested to hear from individuals who have been affected by these reforms.
