Effectiveness of Daily Work Search Reviews (2)

Department for Work and Pensions did not have the information requested.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

I again refer to the common practice in many Jobcentres of requiring claimants to attend daily for a period of time and note that sometimes (but not always) this is under provisions of "Help to Work"

Please supply me with any evidence you have showing that this practice makes it more likely that claimants receiving this particular support will get and sustain employment.

To assist you, when I asked a very similar question last year https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/e... you eventually responded "I can confirm that no evaluation of the Daily Work Search Review has been carried out as yet."

I am hoping the situation has now changed

Yours faithfully,

Mr Harris
