| Annotation | This report presents findings from qualitative research carried out in 2008 to explore experiences of the early implementation of the Provider-led Pathways programme. Provider-led Pathways is the final phase for national introduction of the Pathways to Work initiative. It provides information, advice and practical help to claimants of incapacity benefits to help them (back) into work. Provider-led Pathways is delivered by private companies and not-for-profit third sector organisations. The study focused on the key areas of: Pathways clients' experiences of referral process from Jobcentre Plus to a provider organisation; clients' experiences of compulsory Work Focused Interviews (WFIs) and support provided by Pathways; provider organisation staff experiences of the handover of clients from Jobcentre Plus; liaison arrangements between Jobcentre Plus and provider organisations; and performance monitoring and contract management by Jobcentre Plus and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The full report (Department for Work and Pensions Research report 595) is available to download from the website given. (KJ/RH). |
