PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Restart Programme (28 June 2021)

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether her Department's Restart scheme has started; and when referrals will be made to employers under that scheme.

Asked by:
Alison McGovern (Labour)

Conversations with claimants about the Restart Scheme have begun as of the 28th June, and referrals to providers are expected to start from 12th July.

Restart Scheme providers will deliver an intensive and tailored support offer to participants, aimed at helping them to get into sustained work. With each participant having a unique set of needs and aspirations, we can expect transitions to employment to happen at different points in their journeys.
