Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many universal credit claimants have found work through the Restart scheme to date.

Asked by:
Jonathan Reynolds (Labour)

Answer

The Restart Scheme is still in its initial stages. Conversations with claimants about the Restart Scheme began on the 28th June 2021, and referrals to providers started on the 12th July 2021.

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.
