and benefits agency offices who lose their jobs. [190677]
Jane Kennedy: The administration of Jobcentre Plus is a matter for the Chief Executive of Jobcentre Plus, David Anderson. He will
write to my hon. Friend. Letter from David Anderson to Mr. Chris Ruane, dated 1 November 2004:
The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your questions concerning the funding that has been set aside to retrain staff from
job centres and Benefits Agency offices. This is something which falls within the responsibilities delegated to me as Chief
Executive of Jobcentre Plus.
The Department for Work and Pensions will only consider compulsory redundancies when absolutely necessary. However where
redundancies are deemed necessary the department will fund outplacement support for staff affected and is currently working with
external partners regarding this provision. As we are currently in negotiation with the providers we are not able to divulge
outplacement costs at this stage as this would be to provide contractual information prior to the contract being signed.
I hope this is helpful.

Jane Kennedy: Jobcentre Plus has a wide range of employment programmes to support clients improve their employability and help them
to move into work. Within the framework of national programme design, District Managers are responsible for ensuring that the
provision meets the needs of their local labour market. Programme budget management processes support this local tailoring.
Since 26 April 2004, the District Manager's Discretionary Fund (DMDF) has been made available to all District Managers and
will run for two years, with lessons learned being taken forward.
DMDF will allow greater freedom and flexibility to tackle local problems, including local skills gaps, and allow investment in local
partnerships.
In addition, since 1 April 2004 we have launched the Working Neighbourhoods pilots in 12 of the most deprived neighbourhoods
in the country. The pilots include a flexible, discretionary fund for each neighbourhood to allow personal advisers in cooperation
with local strategic partners to tackle the substantial and varied barriers that prevent residents in these neighbourhoods from
returning to work.
