Out & about atm on a few things – back soon.
If you have some time and feel like tearing it up on twitter, go ahead and tweet the work programme provider Urban Futures @urbanfuturesuk and the charity Marie Curie @mariecurieuk and ask them exactly how people came to be placed on the community work placement (CWP) workfare programme at Marie Curie when Marie Curie doesn’t take workfare placements anymore.
I got the answer below (ie it was an accident), but have asked for more detail about the exact processes that companies that provide volunteers to charities must (should) go through when placing volunteers with charities to make sure volunteers aren’t on workfare. How exactly do workfare placement “accidents” like the one described on the link below happen?
Sadly, nobody from either UF or MC is responding to my calls and emails atm, so feel free to get in yourselves.
