Book excerpt: "This research was designed to explore the experiences of ethnic minority customers using Jobcentre Plus services, and to identify any specific issues and how these might usefully be addressed. It is based on qualitative research conducted with 83 Jobcentre Plus customers in four locations across England, which were chosen on the basis that they would provide a mix of diverse areas and less diverse areas in terms of their ethnic minority population. These customers were from eight of the main ethnic minority groups in the UK. White British customers were also included in this research to explore whether the experiences reported are typical of the entire population sampled or unique to specific ethnic groups. The findings in this report detail levels of satisfaction among customers in terms of satisfaction with Jobcentre Plus services, access to and use of Jobcentre Plus services, and parity in treatment. The findings also detail customer perceptions of employment barriers and issues." -- Back cover.

Download or read book Increasing employment rates for ethnic minorities written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008-02 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a significant gap between the employment rates of the ethnic minority and general populations - currently 14.2 percentage points. This gap costs the economy some £8.6 billion annually. During the last ten years there has been a slow but steady reduction of 2.8 percentage points in the gap. The Department for Work and Pensions (the Department) is responsible for helping people into employment, largely through a range of services provided by Jobcentre Plus offices across the country. It has a Public Service Agreement target to reduce significantly the ethnic minority employment gap over the three years to spring 2008. The Department is on course to meet this target. There have been a number of projects and programmes specifically targeted at ethnic minorities - ethnic minority outreach, ethnic minority flexible fund, specialist employment advisers, fair cities, partners outreach for ethnic minorities - as well as those aimed at the wider disadvantaged community, including the deprived areas fund and the city strategy. The NAO has not assessed the strategy in purely value for money terms, as there are wider benefits and social justice associated with success in this area. The Department has made progress, but the NAO believes greater continuity would have achieved more. A recent move away from a direct focus on ethnic minorities towards wider disadvantaged groups carries the risk that ethic minorities will not get the help that they need to gain employment.

Download or read book The Impacts of Welfare Conditionality written by Peter Dwyer and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2022-11-22 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should a citizen’s right to social welfare be contingent on their personal behaviour? Welfare conditionality, linking citizens’ eligibility for social benefits and services to prescribed compulsory responsibilities or behaviours, has become a key component of welfare reform in many nations. This book uses qualitative longitudinal data, from repeat interviews with people subject to compulsion and sanction in their everyday lives, to analyse the effectiveness and ethicality of welfare conditionality in promoting and sustaining behaviour change in the UK. Given the negative outcomes that welfare conditionality routinely triggers, this book calls for the abandonment of these sanctions and reiterates the importance of genuinely supportive policies that promote social security and wider equality.

Download or read book Crime and Inequality written by Chris Grover and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines key relationships between material circumstances and crime, and analyzes the areas of social policy – in particular social security and labour market policy – that are most important in terms of dealing with inequality at the lower end of the income hierarchy. It seeks to explain why inequality is linked to offending behaviour and the evidence underpinning explanations for this, and looks in detail at the relationship between offending and anti-social behaviour and its management through social policy interventions. Crime and Inequality draws upon both criminological and social policy approaches to understand this vital relationship, moving beyond criminological approaches which often fail to analyse the way the state attempts to manage poor material circumstance, offending and anti-social behaviour through social policy. The main aims of the book are threefold: to draw upon the disciplines of both criminology and social policy to understand the relationship between crime and inequality; to provide an in-depth analysis of those aspects of social policy that have a bearing on the context, management and punishment of offending behaviour; to examine government crime and anti-social behaviour policies in the context of social security and labour market policies, and to identify the tensions that have resulted from attempts to address social justice issues while also making individuals responsible for their actions.

Download or read book The Community Care Grant written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-12-16 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Community Care Grant provides an important safety net for those most in need by helping them to obtain essential items. The scheme has been frozen in cash terms since 2006-07, however, and future funding is expected to remain at £141 million a year. Applying for and awarding a grant is essentially a paper-based exercise and the quality of decision making is unsatisfactory. Around half of the appeals considered were found to contain significant errors because decisions were based on incomplete information and without challenging applicants' statements. At 12% of total Grant funds distributed, administrative error is too high. The risk of fraud and error is further increased by a lack of basic checks and balances: customers are not required to keep receipts and no spot checks are carried out by the Department. Moreover, at £19 million in 2008-09 and 13% of total funds distributed, administration costs are also unacceptably high. Funding is not fairly distributed across the country and more should be done to forecast demand based on established patterns and trends. Concerns were raised five years ago yet the Department still does not know whether fund distribution is fair. Finally, there is scope to make the purchasing arrangements more efficient. Agreeing central contracts for frequently requested items could generate financial savings of around £14 million a year for the scheme and provide a guarantee of quality to applicants. Such an approach can be used even if responsibility for decision making transfers to local authorities. Technological advances, such as the use of store cards, could also make purchasing easier for customers while preserving their dignity.
