The research comprised a series of in-depth, qualitative interviews with employers who have enjoyed continued success with the Standard, as well as those employers who have either committed or accredited to the Standard, but who have subsequently withdrawn from the IIP customer journey.

Design/methodology/approach Qualitative interviews were conducted with 20 Jobcentre Plus staff and training providers, and 60 claimants. Claimants were sampled based on whether or not they had been mandated to training and whether or not they subsequently participated. Along with general findings, differences between these groups are highlighted. Findings Claimants’ behaviours are affected by their capabilities, opportunities, and motivations in interrelated ways. Training programmes should appreciate this to better ensure claimants’ completion of training programmes. Originality/value Whilst past papers have largely examined a limited number of factors that affect claimants’ training behaviours, this report offers a synchronised evaluation of all the behavioural factors that...

Lone Parent Obligations (LPO) introduced from November 2008, mean that lone parents with older children, claiming Income Support (IS) solely based on being a lone parent, will have to claim Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) if they are capable of work, or Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) if their capability for work is limited by a disability or health condition. This summary presents early evaluation findings on the implementation of LPO and experiences of the IS and JSA regimes, based on in-depth interviews with staff and customers. Key findings from this stage of the evaluation • The implementation of LPO has gone well to date. Staff report that they have been well supported and most customers we interviewed, affected by LPO, were aware of the change to their benefits and why the changes were happening. • For those lone parents currently on IS, they valued the flexibil...

It also looks at the effects further education has on the prospects for the children of learners. It is a review of published research from government, academics and think tanks, complemented with original analysis of the British Household Panel Survey and the ILR. The report was prepared by Rosie Gloster, Jonathan Buzzeo, Rosa Marvell, Arianna Tassinari, Joy Williams, Matt Williams, Sam Swift and Becci Newton at the Institute for Employment Studies.
