Welfare to Work Services

Update on HMIE inspection activity in Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) - related provision:

Department for Work and Pensions officials have informed us that UK DWP Ministers have made a decision to discontinue external inspection and improvement support for the quality of contracted employment provision.  This means that external inspections of DWP-related provision will no longer be carried out as of 12 August 2010.

For provision in the future, the DWP Provider Assurance Team will extend its remit to cover, in a light-touch way, some of the quality issues that formed part of external inspections.  A new single quality self assessment tool will also be developed to replace both the existing Self Assessment Report and Quality Assessment Questionnaire.  More information is available from the Department for Work and Pensions website: http://www.dwp.gov.uk/supplying-dwp/what-we-buy/welfare-to-work-services/notices-to-providers/
