Almost the end.
Thank you.
I would like to thank (in no particular):
- Everyone who has visited Ipswich Unemployed Action, New Deal Scandal, New Deal Complaints, Jobseeker Advice, Flexible New Deal Discussion Boards etc.
- Everyone who has contributed to the sites and have used the commenting systems
- Everyone who has spread the word – in person, via the internet or via writing
- Everyone who has linked to the sites and the articles contained within
- Andrew Coates for forming the Ipswich Unemployed Action group and for speaking out about the New Deal (I found his blog which then started IUA, which led to this blog etc.)
- The Government/DWP and YMCA Training for letting this all happen (if I was treated fairly then New Deal courses nationwide wouldn’t have been exposed (so much)!)
- A4e Darren for confirming and denying some issues with A4e
The future?
New Deal Scandal will continue to be online and you can continue to comment but will not have any new updates. I will do a few more posts probably regarding my Tribunal. As New Deal has finished and been replaced with Flexible New Deal there isn’t much point continuing reporting on New Deal, however, it wont be forgotten about – besides we have other things to be focusing on, including, yes – Flexible New Deal!
Ipswich Unemployed Action will continue as usual.
Flexible New Deal Discussion Forums will continue to be updated.
