Benefits and Constraints from LSP Engagement
 
Benefits
 
  • Improved JCP performance through partnership working
  • Greater take-up of JCP services by public agencies and other partners
  • Greater partner focus on achievement of DWP PSA, including what this means for tackling numbers of people on Incapacity Benefit
  • Higher local profile for JCP
 
Constraints
 
JCP is concerned with the delivery of national Government programmes. Local discretion is in the form of decisions over the mix of services provided. District Managers, however, can also allocate a limited part of their resources in support of innovation and locally determined strategies, working with local partners and employers. Other local discretion includes the use of ESF Co-Financing (channelling EU funding for action on employability and long term unemployment).
