Stories & experiences of Workfare

  1. Tel: 01302 329 045 & 01302 368 218
  2. CWP provider advised the placement would enable me to build upon my prior retail experience, including gaining supervisory experience which is clearly not the case. So far I have been asked to dust shelves, sweep the floors, wash crockery used by others. I have used the till once to cover the manager taking a toilet break - not much retail experience for a placement which is supposed to make me more employable in retail.
  3. This is slave labour and detrimental to me finding ordinary full time paid work. I will graduate with a Post Graduate Diploma and have recently completed a work education placement in the past two months The work placement approved by my university and I passed it by WORKING dilgently. Howeverm the DWP fails to acknowledge this. I have also been for several interviews in the past month and have complied with ALL jobseeker employment contract requirements. I have also formally complained about the handling of my case by my local jobcenter advisor, Previous to this MWA Work related placement I have had five sanctions imposed upon me with ALL overturned in my favour. When will these injustices stop
