Jobcentres: Evenbreak
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether he is taking steps to ensure that Job Centres promote the work of Evenbreak.
Answered by Andrew Western
The DWP’s Strategic Relationship Team (SRT) has made several attempts to contact and arrange an initial discussion with Evenbreak and remains keen to explore opportunities for closer collaboration. Whilst there has been no response DWP continues to actively promote Evenbreak and signposts colleagues and customers to the opportunities available.
There is significant potential to further strengthen engagement with Evenbreak and increase awareness of their offer across DWP networks. SRT would welcome the opportunity to develop this relationship further should engagement be established.
