tabling member constituency	East Ham
tabling member printed	Stephen Timms
uin	227265
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2015 answer text <p /> <p>Work Programme providers have flexibility to innovate and to design support that addresses the needs of individuals and the local labour market, rather than having to follow a one size fits all process.</p><p> </p><p>Work Programme providers remain responsible for promoting and publicising the programme to ensure effective engagement with key stakeholders, including local partners such as local authorities. Indeed, the last stocktake of the Work Programme supply chain shows 30 local authorities or councils working directly to prime providers as either a tier 1 or tier 2 sub-contractor with other local authorities and councils also involved beyond those tiers. As of September 2014, the Work Programme has helped 368,000 long term unemployed people into lasting work with local authorities playing a part in this success.</p><p> </p><p>We are currently exploring ways in which we can build on the success of the current programme in the design of future contracts, including through ensuring effective partnership working at the local level. We will be engaging with stakeholders, including local authorities, as this work progresses.</p> answering member constituency Wirral West answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 16/03/2015 11:55:26 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
