Re: Benefit cuts are fuelling abuse of disabled people, say charities

my mistake Martyh

found more stuff which puts doubt alot doubt to the report.

I would say on losses these bonuses are going harm any chance of not making a loss. Whether acusations founded about contract is another matter. If true again another issue which would harmed breaking even.

Been accusation that report visited only 3 Remploy sites and took less than 15 minutes to form her opinion on what a Remploy factory life looks like. If this true how can she evaluate in that short spell therefore would invalidate the report if true. It was accusation in letters on this news report

There is small matter of how much her organisation was paid reports over 2m was poorly done.

If want to read some insight on this long read 16 pages can download it here. Was considering drop the whole doc on here but mods would have fit

www.gmb.org.uk/docs/SAYCE%20REPORT%20ANALYSIS.doc

some opening points

Quote:
The main charities appear to be backing the report and we are trying to look at what vested interests the members of the scrutiny group may have. What is very surprising is that Lord Tom Sawyer took part in the scrutiny group. The members of the scrutiny group comprise: Mike Adams, Rachael Perkins, Kay Allan and Tom Sawyer.

The fact that Liz Sayce was asked to do the report takes away the report’s independence. RADAR has long since declared its opposition to supported employment on the basis that RADAR advisors can find work for disabled people. There is no admission on Liz Sayce’s part to a vested interest. Maria Miller confirmed in Parliament that RADAR had been paid to do the report. The former CEO of Radar, Kate Nash is also on the Board of Remploy.
Problem with her organisation got under fire as more and more disabled are fighting this. Radar become quite noticable very quiet.

I am no doubt she had good intentions there many things in the report which good. However factors was never considered in findings. it is amirable assumption many would be helped into mainstream needs also changes to do so. Radar very much aware these issues such as equality and disability right in workplace. She knows the challenges yet supports instigated the removal avenue into work. There small matter the economic climate report should considered. Location those remploy factories in very very high unemployment sectors. Which sadly mean disabled going to find it hard even with support to bridge the move to mainstream employment.

Surely better for them in subsidised factories at present then repraisal of it when economic climate can take better convergance of these disabled to mainstream employment rather than on scrapheap.

There no doubt issues with remploy the highlighted bosses bonuses which need serious investigation. The issue of why contracts was turned down.

The in process restructure whether that means problems solved they bring back some factories time will tell.
