The Jobcentre Plus Business Plan can be accessed via the link below: Partnership StatementOur partners are important to us. Working jointly with partner organisations and securing their support can achieve successful delivery of Jobcentre Plus services. Jobcentre Plus relies on its partners at local, regional and national levels. It is only through strong and productive partnership working that we can meet our aim of delivering work for those who can and support for those who cannot. Put simply, we could not effectively deliver our huge range of services without the co-operation of our delivery partners, our strategic partners and our stakeholders. We also work closely with our Government partners to ensure the delivery of a seamless joined up service. Partnership working though is a two way process and Jobcentre Plus give support to partners. This means active and constructive management of partnerships and means listening and acting on partners’ concerns. Local Initiatives/EventsIn 2006, we have hosted a number of events in all parts of the District to offer help and support to our key customers – ie those in receipt of Incapacity Benefit, Income Support and Jobseeker’s Allowance as well as Lone Parents. Annually we hold Go For Tourism Events in Stirling and Falkirk. We can provide assistance to employers in all aspects of recruitment and will host employer Open Days in our premises. Working with our partners under the PACE [Partnership in Action for Continuing Employment] banner, we offer help and support to people facing redundancy. An Employer Forum was held in February 2006, attended by more than 40 organisations to give advice on the new Age Legislation, which will impact from October 2006. |
