Ahh yes - the "intensive regime of help"
How long does it take to get counselling just now? six months was what someone I know was told. what about support from Mental health services or psychological support? What about Addiction services? How many of those exist in Caithness and in the Highlands? NO doubt more private companies making money off the misery of others. Just another way to line the pockets of the shareholders and chief executives of private companies who will do half a job, cause more misery and resolve nothing.
Mandatory Work programmes do not help people find jobs. The only way to reduce unemployment is to create growth and jobs. Having unemployed people (dressed in pink overalls possibly?) doing menial work in full sight of the rest of society does not help people to find work. Targetted support, wages subsidies and quality training does.
