Brilliant!
I wonder if the majority of the 26% were very high grade civil servants who don’t actually work in jobcentres?
Do you know that the Department of Work & Pensions Job centre Plus Fraud Investigation Service breaks humans rights and data protect law every day………. How…… When they receive an allegation of living together as husband and Wife and the person is living on thier own. They go out and knock on neighbours doors and take statments even when there is no substance to the allegation. They show the neigbours their Fraud ID and ask all sorts of Intrusive questions. All investigators are saying that it is wrong but senior mangers are telling them to do it….
Yes. Please note:
The bold italic question quoted is an actual quote i.e. the suggestions in brackets were included – I have not added them.
If the questions asked about level 2 – without the suggestions it wouldn’t be quite as bad.
I still have a lot of results to publish still – 2 other existing posts:
33% do not want to work at DWP: http://flexible-new-deal.co.uk/2009/07/22/dwp-survey-2009-1-in-3-dwp-employees-dont-want-to-stay/
Just under 4,500 employees were not even aware of the dwp data handling/confidentiality/sensitive information policy and many more didn’t receive any sort of training about handling information or computer security: http://flexible-new-deal.co.uk/2009/07/22/dwp-survey-2009-distrust-dwp-with-your-details/
Possibly. It is for the entire DWP and not limited to just the Jobcentre. The survey didn’t release details on the percentages of Yes and No. This is a big shame – that information would be so valuable!
That is dreadful but I am not surprised – sadly enough.
Does it happen even if you are NOT married?
yes… even when i judge has informed them that it is hard to prove Living together they still knock on doors. Some people do not even know they have been investigated, but the neigbours do… Once they start getting complaints I gaurantee it will stop
