Restart latest guidance 19th April

Ignatius wrote:The SAR or RAR stuff is a pain. Some information is the DWPs domain and they usually release it. Records of your Restart meetings etc are probably not in the DWPs system so the provider is responsible for those. What tends to happen is a provider and DWP will each say it's not their responsibility and send you backwards and forwards. I know very little about data protection law but these issues can be commonplace where there are different bodies managing/using their data. Hopefully someone who does understand data protection law will come along.

Unacceptable Behaviour
6.10. Participants on the Restart Scheme have a responsibility to behave in an appropriate manner just as they would if they were in employment. You should explain what constitutes appropriate behaviour as part of the induction.

🥵. We consider the following as examples of unacceptable behaviour (this list is not exhaustive):

violence
verbal abuse, including that of a sexual or racist nature
threats, which are implied or otherwise;
intimidation
sexual innuendo
harassment
unwelcome attention
attempted or actual assaults
inappropriate use of the internet or provider’s IT system.

I wonder does the Retread staff also have a definitive list of Unacceptable Behaviours. As there doesn't seem to be any. A few suggestions: Bullying (Physical or Psychological), False Allegations of Behaviour/Conduct, Altering of Official records, etc etc..

"Nearly two thirds (64%) of participants found the Restart Scheme useful at wave 1. Findings from the survey suggested that participants with higher qualifications, those who had worked more since leaving school and the self-employed were less likely to find the Restart Scheme useful."

I would of liked to what the other 1/3(36%) of participants had to say? I bet it wasn't 'Useful'🧻....🤨

If as you posted D-Gas, they have ; Gold, Silver, & Bronze lists. Can you find out which category, you have been assigned? In my area, the category's would most likely be: Ice, Stone, and Bronze.... Not saying it behind the curve here.. 🤨

Maybe it was my over keen attitude that shone through, and would have failed at the genuine part for certain.In that, I didn't want to work for rice grain pay and travel 100 mile there and back to it.
