Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of Working Links going into administration on the charities to which it owed money.

The Department considered the impact on stakeholders and sub-contractors, based on the Administrator’s statement of affairs at the point of Working Links going into administration, and has worked with both the Administrator and Fedcap, who have taken over a number of Working Links contracts, to minimise the impact on those supply chain partners owed monies by Working Links at the point of administration.
