answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2021 answer text <p>The Rapid Response Service (RRS) is all about working in partnerships to address the effects of job losses on individuals and on the local community.

Third sector employers are also eligible where the job losses affect paid workers. RRS support can start when people are under threat of redundancy or during the period of notice.</p><p>Where individuals have not found alternative work before they lose their job, RRS support can continue for a further 13 weeks whether they make a claim for benefits or not.</p><p>This is in addition to the ongoing support provided by DWP for claimants moving them forward in their journey closer to/back into employment.</p><p>We continually review this support to ensure it meets the needs of those people who access this type of support.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 29/06/2021 15:56:01 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2021 answer text <p>Delivering the Kickstart Scheme at pace has led to a limited data set which makes it harder to accurately present a snapshot of a smaller geographical area.</p><p> </p><p>We are continuing to develop our data, which may help in sharing local authority level information in due course.</p><p> </p><p>We are able to provide, however, that in the ONS defined region of London, as of 6 May 2021 around 22,740 jobs had been made available for young people to apply for and around 4,500 jobs started by young people on the Kickstart Scheme.</p><p> </p><p>Although care is taken when processing and analysing Kickstart applications, referrals and starts, the data collected might be subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale recording system which has been developed quickly. The management information presented here has not been subjected to the usual standard of quality assurance associated with official statistics, but is provided in the interests of transparency. Work is ongoing to improve the quality of information available for the programme.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 26/05/2021 17:00:56 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
