Flexible New Deal | New Deal Scandal: Leading Welfare Reform Concerns

(No Ratings Yet)

All New Deal training providers, past and present should be subject to an investigation by the Serious Fraud Office.  The fraud investigation can’t be conducted by the Department for Work and Pensions as they also fall under the suspicion of fraudulent activity and other acts of unlawful misconduct and requires an outside independent investigation.

New Deal has cost taxpayers over £75 billion and is well in the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) remit of dealing with serious fraud over the value of £1 million.

Taxpayers have the right to understand what really happened to the £75 billion of their money. No longer can we sit back read about a few isolated cases from around difference parts of the country and with different providers presuming that is the full extent.

Any business involved will try their best to make sure that the DWP and the Media don’t leak details out using members of staff as scapegoats – dismissing them and paying back the DWP isn’t enough. Most reports are only from ex-employees who have decided to speak out about it and thus the businesses involved didn’t have an gagging order/injunction to prevent them talking openly about it.

The larger concerns are Jobcentre Plus turning a blind eye to it, DWP knowing about fraud by Action 4 Employment numerous years ago but still award contracts to them and allowing A4e to bid for Flexible New Deal even though they have been caught defrauding the system and the extent to which is still being discovered.

Then, one politician (won’t mention any names) gets paid a salary from Action 4 Employment.

This is just one provider, then we have Working Links, Pertemps, Reeds in Partnership …. list goes on.

Taxpayers were angry at the MPs’ expenses Scandal – that corruption is far smaller than this one!
