A young woman in a news article this week said that she was sent onto the Mandatory Work programme by the DWP, and at her first appointment with the provider, A4E, her advisor, who going by the norm for these companies, will have absolutely no prior qualifications or experience in getting people back into work, and is very likely not particularly intelligent…
Think redundant travel agents given a bit of power – these muppets think that “having a job” is some sort of qualification that empowers them to dispense advice, even to people with a dozen more qualifications and 20 years more in the employment market than them.
So, the nasty little prat this particular girl found herself dealing with demanded the gobsmacked young lady go and get herself tested for Chlamydia, but provided no explanation as to why. I hope she sues them. Sadly at the moment, there is no more information on the incident than that presented, other than the Lady went to her MP to complain.
Link to article that mentions it (It is a general article on how, once again the Providers are completely and utterly failing their contractual obligations)
