BETTER WORKING FUTURES FRAMEWORK
Hi All
I should have probably tied this In with earlier post, bit its a different category.
Just wondered if anyone in the Universal Credit LCWRA group, has any experience with Framework BWF program ?
I was referred to them, by my dwp coach. She said that they would support me, while I was in the Support Group..
I was contacted by what I thought was a mental health support worker from Framework.
Who turned out to be a Work Coach ! They said that, each week, I had to complete tasks, that were work related. I explained I was In Support group, and was told, you have to try to do tasks. She kept on asking for my cv. And asking me to write down, my personal strengths, so that she could work on interview techniques.
I was put with 8 different people, all work coaches, and then the first person that helped actually helped with my mental health, was supposed to be a Mental Health worker. Who then told me, that she was training to be a work coach, as well. So then It didn't take long, before she started asking me about work, and that she would need my cv. She then left, so again, I was put with the actual Manager, because they were short staffed. After 2 months, was told we've found you a Mental Health support worker. So I thought, at last, someone who will help me. Then She says, Its my job, to get you back into work. Im a work coach ! At this point, I'd had enough. And complained to dwp coach, she said, its voluntary, so I told them I was withdrawing, from the programme.
It was, of no help to me at all, and has made my mental health worse. Is this something that I could put on my LCWRA Review form ? Its definitely made my mental health escalate, with all the pressure and stress !
Thanks
