Conscientious Objection: Help to Work Community Work Placements and Community Payback

The request was successful.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

Transgressors of law undertake no choice Community Payback (CP) community work punishments, will Jobseekers doing no choice Help to Work Community Work Placements (CWP) be doing the same no choice work as those doing Community Payback?

Is there any information held that shows that no CWP should be exactly the same as those for CP? Please disclose the information you have that shows how any Jobseeker can lodge a prior Conscientious Objection, with the DWP, to undertaking CWP akin to anyone on CP?

Community Work Placements
Work placements must be of benefit to the community
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/sy...

Community Payback
It must benefit the local community
It must not take paid work away from others
No one must make a profit from the work
It must be challenging and demanding
It must be worthwhile and constructive
Offenders must be seen to be putting something back into the community.

Jobless treated same as offenders
