Provider Guidance
Provider Guidance gives you information about your role as an organisation that is contracted to deliver provision for the DWP. Latest information on Provider Guidance can be found here and there is also information on previous updates.
The information is generic to provision within:
- New Deal for Young People
- New Deal 25 plus
- New Deal 50 plus
- New Deal for Lone Parents
- New Deal for Partners
- Programme Centres
- Co-financed European Social Fund and
- Jobseeker Mandatory Activity (JMA) Pilot.
There is also more specific information on Partners Outreach for Ethnic Minorities, Employment Zone and Provider Led Pathways to Work.
There is considerable detail in the schedules of Provider contracts with DWP. This guidance provides additional information to the contract schedules in terms of the Providers' relationship with DWP, what needs to be achieved in relation to the provision being delivered, and how to go about certain tasks and deal with issues.
The chapters can be searched for specific information, but if Providers cannot resolve issues by referring to the guidance they should discuss these with their local DWP District contact.
