JD Sports
(asked on 8th February 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what guidance his Department has issued to Jobcentre Plus on referrals of claimants to JD Sports.
This question was answered on 20th February 2017
The Department has not issued any national instructions to staff about the referral of claimants to JD Sports. At a local level, the Jobcentre in Rochdale suspended recruitment activity with JD sports in Rochdale pending the outcome of a DWP investigation into working practices following allegations made by a Channel 4 documentary. This DWP investigation has concluded and we have now lifted this suspension.
