Our comments on the National Audit Office's report on the Work ProgrammeTuesday 24 January
We have today responded to the National Audit Office’s (NAO) report on the introduction of the Work Programme. "This report rightly identifies that many elements of the Work Programme have addressed the shortcomings of previous schemes, particularly in terms of offering more innovative financing arrangements and greater freedom and flexibility for providers. However, there is a need to ensure that these financing arrangements are fair and proportionate so that subcontractors have sufficient funds to carry out the work. |
Our response to proposals for a new statutory register of lobbyistsFriday 20 January
Charities have a fundamental right to campaign and to lobby government and parliament. It is a vital part of our democracy. However we recognise that there is a need to regulate lobbying activity in order to prevent further ambiguity and mistrust in the political system. We think that charities should be subject to the same rules and regulations as those employed for working for multi-client agencies. It is important we do not create a two tier system. |
