ERSA have recently (20th June) published a report highlighting their success in getting the long term unemployed back in to work. Headline claim is 321,000 people starting work. Further on, the report also claims that: If the providers can only find temporary contracts that last anything from a single day to three months, might as well spin it... Job starts do not equate to sustained employment, nor should people hounded off benefits through sanctions or intimidation be counted. Comparing their figures with the last official report from the DWP wp_release_nov12.pdf, I am really struggling to see any correlation between the two - It will be interesting to see what the DWP has to say on 27th June. If the ERSA figures are to be believed, that means the providers are in line for some £1,250M for their efforts to date (using a £4,000 per participant figure based on Work & Pensions Committee figures). Before either party decide to remove their documents, I'll attach them below (they have, after all, been placed in the public domain).
