A4e fraud and the company switch

New Deal Scandal network can announce that Action 4 Employment has two main companies which they swapped names of. We do not suggest that this act was an act of fraudulent company trading however we felt the suspicions of which is significant to match the allegations of widespread fraud in the organisation.

On 3rd July 2009, we announced that the A4e finance director has resigned as a company director.

A day previously on the 2nd July 2009, we announced that New Deal fraud was widespread and that fraud has always been widespread in the New Deal scheme.

    regarding the recent revelations about A4e. I was forced to go to
    that stinking pool of scum in Newcastle for three months, (the scum I
    refer to is the staff) I witnessed by staff bullying, trivial reasons
    for forced attendants who were exited,  and even drug smoking by staff!
    A4e would not let forced unemployed to use their lifts they claimed
    they were used by us as a toilet. Re bullying at Newcastle I was
    looking at a job lead board and a so called tutor Bernie told me to get
    back into the classroom, I did put in a written complaint about her and
    nothing happened this thuggish behaviour is common practice. Few will
    challenge these thugs who work at a4e. I had three months of having to
    argue with this woman who is called Bernie. She wanted to get me exited
    the arguments ranged from the trivial. I would not take the bait by
    swearing at this woman for this would have given her the chance of
    exiting me. 
    One person came in and got a job off his own back his brother
    offered him a job in his own restaurant and staff at a4e Newcastle
    forced him to say a4e in particular a  man called Steve got him the
    job. The man who is in charge of the IT room asked me what
    type of work I was looking for I said photography and he laughed out
    load and said Ohh I suppose you have a nvq in photography have you? I
    replied No I have a college degree! He then asked me some what he
    considered were testing questions about photography after a few minutes
    this thug was beginning to believe me.
    A4e break health and safety rules I was on the gateway and 70
    people were crowded into a room, the windows at Newcastle cannot be
    opened for they fall out, labels are on all windows for them not to be
    opened. The place stinks and is too hot to sit in even in winter. I
    contacted the fire chief at the fire brigade and nothing was done about
    overcrowding etc etc. I know this to be still true for one of my
    friends has just been sent to A4e Action 4 exploitation.
    The reception Newcastle has an image of that fraudster woman who owns a4e she appears like a Stalinist dictator. Staff
    at a4e would be jumping for joy when someone got a placement at
    poundland. They would say that person has a job I said to Bernie is
    this person paid or is she on a work trial? Turned out she was on a
    work trail I text ed her and asked her she told me she had to go there
    and work for nothing or she would be exited from A4e.
    I can sincerely say that In my hard time at A4e no one got a job this is out of around 90 people from 3 rooms. NOT ONE PERSON.I
    asked Bernie not to call her self a tutor and she took offense I
    discovered that she has no relevant qualifications  ,  it is an insult
    to people who have slaved hard to get a college degree. Bernie asked me
    how was my time at a4e prior to leaving I said it was soporific she
    then asked how do you spell that and in a panic stricken voice what
    does it mean?
    If you want to get people back into work make work affordable when
    I worked full time I was paying £280 rent a month, I have relatives who
    earn 40k a year and pay less than 200 a month. Its a poverty stricken
    existence, paying that much rent will always keep a single person down.
    It wou;ld be unwise for me to buy my property the m,maths dont make it
    worthwhile for the service chargers make you worse off.
    Please please dont renew your contract with A4e they are thugs, thieves, bully’s, and uneducated.

    I have recently finished a course at A4e and i can honestly say that all the above is true. The place is a tip a accident waiting to happen, rooms all overcrowded, very unhelpfull staff, infact most of them were just hopeless. Toilets were terrible, doors hanging off. I was there 13 weeks and was never repaired. Windows wouldnt open, the hole place needed a good clean, never seen any cleaners, i think staff have to do it. Couldnt use the lifts but staff were aloud too. Could take drinks outside even though every dinner time there was a van outside that sold drinks. Were is the logic in that? Managment didnt know there arse from there elbow, one member of manager a female didnt even know 5 of the companys own health and safety rules. Other members of staff were, rude, treat you like you were at school. The hole place was terrible, health and safety executive would have a field day in there, and its a accident waiting to happen. Anyway just though i would pass this information on.

    Also forgot to mention, they do have to meet targets and were forcing people into jobs that people didnt want, and if they didnt take them they were sending people back to the job center and losing there job seekers allowance, there was one guy on the course when i was there had 25 years in the shipyards as a wellder and they tried to force him into a job cleaning at the metro centre for min wage! Total joke. I tell you how well organised they are, 2 weeks after i finished the course i recived a letter saying you recently finished your a4e course at Gateshead i wasnt even at Gateshead i was at Newcastle. Didnt have a clue what they were doing? Total joke.
