Employment Schemes
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many referrals were made by Jobcentre Plus to employment support programmes that are (a) centrally contracted and (b) not centrally contracted by her Department to (i) voluntary and community sector providers, (ii) private sector providers, (iii) regional/local government providers and (iv) other in the last year.
Answered by Alison McGovern
The referral statistics for the centrally contacted employment support programmes are available on GOV.UK.
Restart Scheme statistics - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
Work and Health Programme statistics to May 2024 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
Statistics on Intensive Personalised Employment Support are planned for future publication and will be formally released, adhering to the Official Statistics guidance.
The information requested for employment support programmes not centrally contracted is not collated and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
