Sorry.

I don't think a lot of people have base instincts, and turn to crime when they have less than before.

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

I think a lot of people who have nothing will. and a few who have less than before will too.

you have to look at it as they have nothing to lose, and all to gain.
benefit money was their sole means of survival.

I don't see that at all, those people of the correct disposition to commit crimes wouldn't be satisfied with only getting welfare money so will and do commit crimes already

Yes, I haven't seen anybody say otherwise.

what I was saying was a few of those with that disposition will increase their own crime rate figures to make up the shortfall.

and those who never had the disposition, some will now have the disposition and start stealing.

In normal circumstances agreed but you would'nt believe what people capable off until they pushed into very small corner.

There stats show the country in great depression it increases crimerates.

anyway this hugely off topic

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

Dont like bring old topics back but new developments on Remploy. Express will back the campaign after it emerged government will support prisoners £20 a week in new project. Now great for prisoners but did the government say they could not support losses remploy at £16 per head.

If remploy not financially viable how is prison workfare system subsidies viable.

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

If ATOS abuse continues, perhaps we shall see many disdabled people commiting crimes so that they can get involved in the prisons' project ?

I think that they are far more likely to become homeless and/or commit suicide.

sadly thats already happen the part suicides

Just showed the double standards

Hope the charity who got hoodwinked makes public apology to those disabled at remploy helps fight those closures.

I am even not shocked remploy make small losses under circumstances its sole disabled employer.

As long it does good job helping disabled it should never been decided not to be supported. The fact its helped many into mainstream employment it does not just provide its onw factories.

They are looking ways to see if its viable remodeling themselves apparantly. Sadly though not in time to save 208 staff and 1,752 jobs. Thats not forgetting the knock on to companies who supported them or had contracts.

Wonder where government going for some stuff they provide

Remploy is a company ,prisons are not .Remploy is there to make money ,prisons are not .
The subsidies given to Remploy to keep unproductive factories open will go a lot further if re directed to other areas of the disability budget ,even the charities accept that .

on profits this needs very much investigating.

I would not believe everything your told there hell alot disabled got miss trust at RADAR report. Liz Sayce organisation one of many not all disabled organisation believe she was right. There even growing concern ordinary disabled getting shafted by thes big charities who starting to lose sight to who they supposed to be supporting.

http://www.dpac.uk.net/2012/

Quote:
DPAC asks: How much longer will user-led organisations and disabled people continue to be silenced by the multi-million pound charities? How much longer will people support the big disability charities without realising that they are acting in their own interests? Already Disability Works UK (a consortium of charities claiming a turn over value of £654.4 million) run workfare for disabled people, risking sanctions and loss of benefit for the very people the charities claim to ‘help’. They claim they dont do sanctions but this is because they pass on the names of people to DWP so that they can do them.

You say it factory it more than that check tthe link remploy does alot thinks to help disabled not just in own factories. I would suspect remploy been used as they make alot goods for government. Which likely hit there impact to make those profits.

Prisons will still be form factories as businesses are involved. They being subsided those subsidies you could argue are remploy's saving. I will say this doubt penny will go into getting disablded work.

Those workers would have found employment in mainstream they have not reasons simple they are not getting help in work.

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

http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/283385/So-Mr-Cameron-why-are-you-sacking-disabled-workers--

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.

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

There been development in france ATOS staff speaking out about practises. Bear in mind only going by translation of french news article which has alot references to uk issues.

http://department-for-making-hope-po...taff-speak-out

Another was investigation by mirror on that found a number deaths a day its sad those been wrongly assessed. Its so heartfelt those families to seen there loved ones die.

Now accept it does not say cause death. Does question some cases hope the government eliminate this wrong assessments.

http://blogs.mirror.co.uk/investigat...ailing-in.html

Someone underneath in letters talked about those who they knew as one these statistics.

I think atos staff must surely be more educated on terminal illnesses. They should really understand more about the illnesses they assessing.
