They are not permitted if they are simply for the financial benefit of the employer or are excessive in length.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The DWP Work Trial scheme is a key enabler to help some of our most disadvantaged claimants try work in a risk-free environment. It provides them with a job guarantee providing both they and the employer are satisfied following the trial. It removes the requirement for them to compete with other candidates giving them an opportunity to demonstrate their suitability to the employer whilst having the knowledge that if it doesn’t work out for either party there will be no effect on their current benefit entitlement with no requirement to reclaim benefits.</p><p> </p><p>The requirement for the employer to guarantee that the Work Trial is linked to a genuine vacancy provides an additional safeguard to claimants.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 18/05/2022 16:42:15 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2022 answer text <p>For those who are long-term unemployed, the Restart Scheme, which went live in July 2021, is providing support to Universal Credit Intensive Work Search Regime claimants and Income Based Jobseekers Allowance claimants. Claimants are considered for the Restart Scheme after claiming for 9 months.</p><p> </p><p>The Restart Scheme is being delivered across England and Wales using 12 Contract Package Areas with providers working with employers, local government, and other partners to deliver tailored support for individuals, breaking down employment barriers that could be holding claimants back from finding work.</p><p> </p><p>The Government also recognises the challenges faced by people aged 50 and over.Therefore, as part of the £500m Plan for Jobs expansion we are funding a new enhanced support package for workers over the age of 50 to help them to stay in or return to work. This offer will ensure that older job seekers receive more intensive, tailored support as part of their Universal Credit claim and will give Work Coaches more time to spend with older job seekers who have recently become unemployed.</p><p> </p><p>The 50PLUS Champions network also provides dedicated support to Work Coaches to enable them to effectively direct suitable support to claimants who are aged 50 and over.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 18/05/2022 16:47:38 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

uin	694
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2022 answer text <p>As mentioned in my previous response, the Department is committed to providing the best possible support for all claimants to meet their individual circumstances. Claimants with a health condition or disability, including those who are immunocompromised, continue to have tailored commitments agreed based on their personal circumstances, including considering the impact of their health and wider situation.</p><p>Any work-related requirements are set in discussion with the claimant, tailored to their individual capability and circumstances, making them realistic and achievable. The guidance available to DWP staff outlines the easements which may be applied including that work search reflects the type and location of jobs which are appropriate to the individual.</p><p>Although DWP does not routinely provide guidance specifically on supporting people who are immunocompromised, we do ensure that staff are aware of the sources of information available to them relating to medical conditions that are associated with this. Staff are signposted to tools, guidance support and websites to effectively use resources from both internal and external sites, such as information directly from the NHS found <a href="https://www.nhs.uk/conditions" target="_blank">here.</a></p><p>This ensures that staff can access the most up to date advice and can use this to inform how they support individual customers.</p><p>We empower our Work Coaches to use all available resources to best support each claimant, however they are not trained to provide comprehensive healthcare advice, therefore while we do discuss the implications certain jobs may have on their health, we would not advise against jobs the claimant wishes to apply for.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 18/05/2022 16:48:20 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many Kickstart scheme placements have been (a) approved, (b) advertised and (c) started by young people in each (i) sector, (ii) region and (iii) nation as of 11 May 2022.
tabling member constituency	Don Valley
tabling member printed	Nick Fletcher
uin	1001
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2022 answer text <p>The most recent data available is for the 8 May 2022. At that point over 162,600 Kickstart jobs had been started by young people. The last Kickstart jobs were started by young people on 31 March 2022, and we expect the number of starts to increase further as employers report commencement of employment.</p><p>We have previously published the number of jobs approved and advertised as of 31 January 2022, <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2022-01-31/114956" target="_blank">here.</a> At that point, over 235,000 jobs had been advertised and over 305,000 had been approved. Kickstart has now closed to employer applications and, as of March 2022, all approved jobs proceeding to the advertisement stage, have been advertised. As such, these totals will not increase further.</p><p>Below are tables listing the number of Kickstart jobs which have been made available and started by young people to date by geographical area of Great Britain and work sector. The figures used are correct as of the 8 May 2022 and these figures have been rounded according to departmental standards.</p><p>Jobs made available (advertised) and job starts quoted here include some unfunded Kickstart jobs. Also included in the Great Britain total are a small number of jobs made available (less than 100 in total) that have an unrecorded job location.</p><p>The number of approved jobs is defined as the number of jobs associated with approved applications recorded on the Kickstart application system on the date above. This total excludes approved jobs that have been withdrawn from the Kickstart Scheme by agreement with employers and gateways. This is generally because, over time, some previously approved jobs were removed where the employer chose not to follow up the application.</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.</p><p>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><p><strong>Table 1: Number of Kickstart total available jobs and job starts, Great Britain, by nation and region (figures rounded to nearest 100*)</strong></p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>Total jobs made available</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total jobs started</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Region / Nation Split</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>(DATA RETAINED FROM 31/01/22)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>(DATA EFFECTIVE 08/05/22)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total, Great Britain</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>235,000</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>162,600</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>England</strong></p></td><td><p>204,000</p></td><td><p>140,200</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>East Midlands</p></td><td><p>14,000</p></td><td><p>10,300</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>East of England</p></td><td><p>18,000</p></td><td><p>11,800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London</p></td><td><p>51,000</p></td><td><p>32,800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North East</p></td><td><p>11,000</p></td><td><p>8,100</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North West</p></td><td><p>30,000</p></td><td><p>20,600</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South East</p></td><td><p>26,000</p></td><td><p>17,300</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South West</p></td><td><p>14,000</p></td><td><p>9,800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>West Midlands</p></td><td><p>21,000</p></td><td><p>15,800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Yorkshire and The Humber</p></td><td><p>19,000</p></td><td><p>13,700</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Scotland</strong></p></td><td><p>19,000</p></td><td><p>14,300</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Wales</strong></p></td><td><p>12,000</p></td><td><p>8,000</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><strong>Table 2: Number of Kickstart total available jobs and job starts, Great Britain, by Sector (figures rounded to the nearest 10*)</strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Sector Split</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total jobs made available</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total jobs started</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>(DATA RETAINED FROM 31/01/22)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>(DATA EFFECTIVE 08/05/22)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Administration</p></td><td><p>57,350</p></td><td><p>40,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Animal Care</p></td><td><p>1,610</p></td><td><p>1,330</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Beauty &amp; Wellbeing</p></td><td><p>1,720</p></td><td><p>1,320</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Business &amp; Finance</p></td><td><p>8,500</p></td><td><p>5,930</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Computing Technology &amp; Digital</p></td><td><p>15,840</p></td><td><p>12,360</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Construction &amp; Trades</p></td><td><p>7,230</p></td><td><p>5,190</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Creative &amp; Media</p></td><td><p>20,990</p></td><td><p>16,730</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Delivery &amp; Storage</p></td><td><p>6,380</p></td><td><p>4,430</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Emergency &amp; Uniform Services</p></td><td><p>520</p></td><td><p>360</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Engineering &amp; Maintenance</p></td><td><p>7,080</p></td><td><p>4,900</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Environment &amp; Land</p></td><td><p>4,620</p></td><td><p>3,450</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Government Services</p></td><td><p>1,000</p></td><td><p>710</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Healthcare</p></td><td><p>6,140</p></td><td><p>3,460</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Home Services</p></td><td><p>1,560</p></td><td><p>900</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Hospitality &amp; Food</p></td><td><p>26,380</p></td><td><p>14,060</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Law &amp; Legal</p></td><td><p>650</p></td><td><p>520</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Managerial</p></td><td><p>960</p></td><td><p>660</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Manufacturing</p></td><td><p>6,430</p></td><td><p>4,400</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Retail &amp; Sales</p></td><td><p>34,970</p></td><td><p>26,450</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Science &amp; Research</p></td><td><p>990</p></td><td><p>790</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Social Care</p></td><td><p>4,740</p></td><td><p>2,640</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sports &amp; Leisure</p></td><td><p>5,920</p></td><td><p>4,170</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Teaching &amp; Education</p></td><td><p>11,000</p></td><td><p>6,800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Transport</p></td><td><p>900</p></td><td><p>460</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Travel &amp; Tourism</p></td><td><p>1,110</p></td><td><p>580</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><strong>*</strong> <strong>Due to rounding, sum of figures may not match declared total</strong></p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 18/05/2022 11:27:28 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
