Details

A number of LAs have implemented alternative ways of delivering their services to the required standards established by DWP:

  • negotiated contracts and arrangements with other LAs to create shared services
  • outsourced their service outright to private companies
  • created business ventures
  • contracted with agency staff and set up call-off contracts.
