A JC adviser has just told me to my face that she has been disciplined for not referring enough jobseekers for potential benefit sanctioning. She was not willing to disclose the exact nature of that disciplinary action. This comes after IDS has insisted that there are no targets for advisers. She didn’t know at the time that I am a journalist, but after informing her of who I am (WNS Editor) she has requested that I do not disclose her identity, out of fear she would be sacked. If there are any other JC staff reading this who would like to disclose similar information I would be more than willing to grant full anonymity.
