August 24, 2009 — Flexible New Deal New DealSo it has been a hot topic in the recent week…. Benefit Busters at A4e Doncaster.
I have already expressed disappointment regarding the low outcome by A4e the largest welfare provider in the UK that also has business interests overseas.
Since the Benefit Busters show, I have been reviewing feedback across the internet. The comments are shocking! Read more on New Deal Scandal »

August 22, 2009 — Flexible New Deal New DealAs we all might be aware that the Channel 4 Benefit Busters show was designed for publicity for A4e rather than a fair insight in to the benefit system.
Thursday’s (20th August) show which featured the training provider Action for Employment (otherwise known as A4e) and their star tutor/trainer/sales person/staff member Hayley Taylor (which I hear has since been sacked) pursuing ten single mums in to making the transition of going back to work, highlighted a major flaw.
Yes the PR backfired. Not solely due to opinion on the show which i will report later in a separate blog article but rather by their lack of success as the UK market-leader of providing Government welfare schemes. Read more on New Deal Scandal »

August 21, 2009 — Flexible New Deal New DealFor a 3 part documentary called “Benefit Busters” two episodes will feature A4e. One episode that was shown on the 20th August 2009 was at A4e Doncaster focusing on lone parents whilst the other episode coming up next week will be at A4e Hull focusing on the unemployed.
At A4e Doncaster, Hayley Taylor co-ordinates a 6 week intensive course named Elevate which aims to give lone parents the confidence and skills to enter employment and persuade them they will be better off working than continuing to claim benefit.
It was largely thought that the programme would be criticising a4e and be bad publicity; it was a PR stunt all along to help develop promotion while they attempt to move in to America. My inbox was flooded with websites picking up on the A4e biased publicity from a press release and was only the last couple of days when a few sources picked up on the fame of the lone parents involved. The A4e website even has a page dedicated to Benefit Busters.
