This research explored the implementation and delivery of the Six Month Offer, Support for the Newly Unemployed and the first three stages of the enhanced Jobseekers Regime. Qualitative research was undertaken in nine Jobcentre Plus districts, two and five months after implementation in April 2009, to help understand the impact of these measures on Jobcentre Plus customers and staff. The research also involved a customer survey covering the first 13 weeks of a JSA claim, comparing the results of those subject to the enhanced regime with those experiencing the former JSA regime.
This is the first in series of evaluation reports aiming to establish the extent to which the Jobseekers Regime and Flexible New Deal, the Six Month Offer and Support for the Newly Unemployed lead to additional customer employment outcomes.
