Personal Stories

Stories & experiences of Workfare

1. Seetec send scores of CWP claimants here. Sham. Individuals arrive and are often sent home (rarely do 30 hours as mandated). Work undertaken is leafleting and litter picking

2. My placement is a sham it's not a work placement we have sat in a classroom environment no computers to look for work nothing, it'as like detention at school every day. the placement goes under 2 names both are fraudulant charities as far as I can see. we generally go by mid day it's all about the placement just getting our signiture so they get paid. it does no good for us and the charities as far as I can see in 5 months of being there are a fiction they are just collecting lottery funding for doing nothing it's a total scam the charity I was sent to is called Birmingham crime Diversion @ the saturn business park blissel street Birmingham (it also goes under another name that other people are sent there to attend in really we just both sit in the same classroom)
