It was fascinating and disturbing in equal measures to read Valleys Mam’s post on one of the companies delivering the UK Government’s Work Programme in Wales and how the Jobcentre is achieving better result getting the unemployed back to work and how much Working Links is costing us tax payers, because its highlighting another aspect of the welfare changes introduced with little or no debate at political level or in the press here in Wales that are having a huge impact on families and communities up and down the country and local service.
The Welsh Government can’t stop every cut biting, but it should be trying to mitigate the impact of some of the harsher cuts like the increase in food banks we heard about this week or the changes to Council Tax Benefit highlighted by Welsh Ramblings should be a priority.
