Agenda 21 ?

Hi
I work within the dwp so please don't use my name as it could cost me my job.
The dwp are rolling out nationally an initiative to work with 120k families whose
lives are blighted by joblessness, single parents, crime and truancy. We have
specially trained personnel to work closely with them to break these harmful
trends and integrate them into society, improve their lives and make working
the preferred options.



However what has not been released and is being kept hush hush is that these
families are to achieve certain targets working with our staff and stakeholders,
professional organisations which have been hand picked to get the desired
results as expediently as possible. The department is investing a great deal of
resources into this project and participants are to be under no illusions that
equal investment and commitment are required from them. This will not be
an option where families can choose not to be involved in.....if they refuse to
participate, their benefits will be stripped under sanctions. 

If after a period
of 26 weeks results are not forthcoming and improvements tangible and
sustained all benefits will be withdrawn. The adults will either have to work in
any position that can be found and will be paid via fuel food and basic clothing.
If the children continue to truant and participate in anti social behaviour those
under 13 will be taken into care and those over 13 will be expected to work
under the same terms as their parents with tutors twice weekly to ensure a
basic level of literacy and numeracy. They will not be living with their parents
but in dormitory accommodation. Tenders have been received and a short list
drawn up for the lots as with pip.

Fore runners are G4S, Deloittes, Veolia, Capita and Serco
Myself and many other staff are horrified but are powerless to stop this.
The govt are saying they will save more on what they cut on the benefits
including DLA for the people in these families getting high rates for anger and
behavioural problems, housing benefits and benefits for babies and children.
Any of the parents having children throughout or once they've failed the
initiative will be taken into the care of local authorities.

The families will be allowed supervised access at contact centres as deemed
acceptable by the people overseeing the project and the handlers for the
individual families.

This is all underway and being arranged as we speak. The govt see these
families as an absolute blight on society and one way or another are
determined to get rid of them in any way they can. Their view is that
support and money haven't helped, ASBO's are a joke and seen as a
badge of honour and children whether in these families or other families
on low incomes are a drain on resources and they believe if they stop
paying then the children will stop being born and those already here
will have to either conform or to be excluded and earn their keep. To
get disability allowance for children is going to be nigh on impossible
which is why the reforms haven't targeted them, new plans are underway
as the perception is that ALL children need care and parents know this
before having them therefore there are only very rare circumstances
where additional support is justifiable.

Thank You


Carl
