Partnership Director’s Foreword
Welcome to CDG – WISE Ability’s Self-Assessment Report for 2013-14, concerning our management
and delivery of the Government’s Work Choice programme. What follows herein is a detailed report
on our strengths, our areas for improvement and any aspects that can be further improved.
I am incredibly proud of what has been achieved this year – from exceeding all annual targets set by
the Department for Work and Pensions, to being awarded excellence under the Merlin Standard. On
behalf of the Board of Trustees, a heartfelt thank you to you all for your hard work and dedication. I
truly believe we continue to be the best Work Choice supply chain in the country.
As is customary within our line of work, we mustn’t be complacent. The forthcoming year presents
several, significant challenges – and we must all remain fully committed to building upon our successes
in order that we continue to provide the best possible service to all of our stakeholders.
A Quality Improvement Plan will be prepared in response to this report, and will be supported by the
Steering Group.

About Work Choice
Work Choice is a specialist disability employment programme, introduced by the Department for Work
and Pensions (DWP) in October 2010, replacing the WORKSTEP and Work Preparation programmes.
It provides employment-related support to people who face complex barriers due to their disability
or long-term health condition, particularly those for whom ‘mainstream’ employment provision would
not be appropriate. A key principle underpinning the programme is a greater focus on those who
need specialist support.
The Work Choice programme, delivered in partnership with Jobcentre Plus (JCP), is match-funded by
the European Social Fund (ESF).
About the Prime Provider & Supply Chain
CDG – WISE Ability was created as a special purpose vehicle (SPV) by Careers Development Group
(now merged with Shaw Trust) and WISE Employment. It is a separate company limited by guarantee,
is jointly owned by Shaw Trust and WISE Employment, and has its own Board of Trustees.
It was formed to tender for the Work Choice contract in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight (CPA 24).
CDG – WISE Ability’s provision portfolio is currently limited to the Work Choice programme. It is
supported by infrastructure of Shaw Trust covering accounts, human resources, marketing, security
and IT.
CDG – WISE Ability operate a management agent model; all delivery is carried out by members of the
supply chain. The supply chain is illustrated in the diagram below.

Assessment Methodology
This self-assessment report was informed by exhaustive consultation with supply chain partners and
other key stakeholders, including customers and employers.
CDG – WISE Ability facilitated an interactive one-day workshop to collect the views of operational
management and delivery staff working within the supply chain. A variety of evidence sources have
been used to inform the findings of this report.
This self-assessment has been conducted in line with the requirements and approach as outlined in
DWP’s Generic Provider Guidance, Chapter 7 – Self Assessment. As a result, this report considers all
11 statements as defined in the DWP Self-Assessment Tool (SAT).
Assessment Criteria
Following the DWP Self-Assessment Tool, this report measures:
The quality of all provision delivered to all customers engaged with the programme;
Customers’ experience of provision across the partnership network;
Adherence to statutory, legal and programme requirements.
As part of our commitment to sustainable excellence and positive partnership working within supply
chains, this report also considers all 4 Merlin Standard principles:
Supply Chain Design
Commitment
Conduct
Review
Finally, this report also considers statements from the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s
Service and Skills (OFSTED) Common Inspection Framework (CIF) where deemed relevant.
P a g e | 6
Evaluation & Grading Methodology
This report groups all key statements (outlined above) into 7 categories in order to facilitate more
effective grading:
Our Performance
Customer Experience
Quality & Continuous Improvement
Staff & Support
Leadership & Management
Capacity to Improve
Overall Effectiveness
This report uses a four-point grading scale (as used in Ofsted’s Common Inspection Framework) to
summarise the judgements made about all aspects of provision:
Grade 1: Outstanding
Grade 2: Good
Grade 3: Satisfactory/ Requires Improvement
Grade 4: Inadequate
P a g e | 7
Summary of Grades Awarded
There has been continued improvement in the partnership network’s performance to profile for Short
Job Outcomes during 2013-14, supplemented by continued solid performance to both Progressions
and Sustained Job Outcomes targets.
Overall customer satisfaction with programme delivery for 2013-14 was measured at 90%. This is the
second time that the partnership network has met this internal target. Customers’ employers were
also surveyed during this contractual year, with 100% satisfied with service received.
The supply chain was awarded the highest rating following DWP Merlin Standard Assessment. This
has mirrored ongoing improvements in the partnership network’s performance with regards to quality
and compliance.
Management Information systems and processes continue to be simple, streamlined and effective.
Relevant and accurate data continues to be shared throughout all levels of the partnership network.
Overall, the supply chain’s performance is judged to be “Grade 1 – Excellent”, significantly building upon the grades awarded during the three previous contractual years. A strategic priority for the next year is to maintain this grade.

There has been continued improvement in Advisers’ initial needs-assessment over the contractual
year, and relevant documentation is now completed to a generally good standard. However, further
improvement is still required to ensure that needs-assessment is of the highest standard throughout
all stages of programme delivery.
All members of the partnership network continue to support customers in accessing other relevant
support services outside of the formal supply chain through collaborative agreements with Specialist
Support Organisations (SSOs).
Detailed customer feedback continues to be gathered through the annual Stakeholder Satisfaction
Survey. Further processes improvements have been incorporated into programme delivery in order
to encourage customer feedback through more “informal” channels across the partnership network.
Whilst the supply chain’s overall management of Equality and Diversity is satisfactory, it has not yet
been fully embedded in IAG delivery (and other programme activities) across all partners’ provision.
Overall, the supply chain’s performance is judged to be “Grade 2 – Good”, maintaining the grade awarded during previous contract year. A strategic priority for the next year is to at least maintain this grade.

Improvements have been made to the observations process during the contractual year. Additionally,
the frequency of observations carried out across the partnership network has increased.
DWP’s Merlin Standard Assessment Team judged CDG – WISE Ability’s quality assurance processes to
be effective, with their report particularly praising the “supportive approach” taken to supply chain
partner monitoring. However, quality assurance systems and processes within some supply chain
partners continue to be under-developed or under-utilised.
The sharing of best practice and collaborative working across the supply chain, through the Steering
Group and Practitioners’ Forums is considered to be a particular strength.
Overall, the supply chain’s performance is judged to be “Grade 2 – Good”, maintaining the grade awarded during previous contract year. A strategic priority for the next year is to at least maintain this grade.

CDG – WISE Ability has continued to support the on-going development of supply chain partner staff
through quarterly training workshops. Feedback remains consistently positive; delivery continues to
be judged as effective. Quarterly training workshops are continuing to support partner staff to grow
and develop over and above “basic” operational competency.
Continued improvements have been made to way in which staff are supported, both on a daily basis
and through structured performance management. Increased numbers of staff report having an ever-
better understanding of what’s expected of them (particularly with regards to contract quality and
compliance) and welcome further guidance on how to improve. Motivation and morale across the
partnership network appears high.
Overall, the supply chain’s performance is judged to be “Grade 2 – Good”, maintaining the grade awarded during previous contract year. A strategic priority for the next year is to at least maintain this grade.

P a g e | 11
CDG – WISE Ability and its supply chain remain fully committed to both managing and delivering the
Work Choice programme to the highest possible standard; we promise a high level of service to all
customers and we strive to provide it.
Communication throughout the partnership network continues to be proactive and positive. When
supply chain partners (or their staff) are not sure how best to proceed, all are encouraged to ask for
further support and guidance, safe in knowledge that doing so is a positive thing.
CDG – WISE Ability continues to employ a positive and consultative approach to the management of
the partnership network. There continues to be some excellent examples of extensive consultation
with the supply chain, resulting in meaningful improvements to systems and processes.
Contract management review activity takes place at least monthly between the Partnership Director
and individual supply chain partner. Under-performance continues to be appropriately challenged by
the Partnership Director during both contract management and Steering Group activities. Supply
chain partners are keen to emphasise the supportive approach to the contract management process.
Overall, the supply chain’s performance is judged to be “Grade 1 – Excellent”, significantly building upon the grades awarded during the three previous contractual years. A strategic priority for the next year is to maintain this grade.

The partnership network’s capacity to improve continues to be good. Throughout the contractual
year, CDG – WISE Ability and the supply chain have remained committed to taking effective action to
continually improve performance, systems and processes. Staff understanding of the programme, at
all levels, has continued to evolve and improve. This is supported by sustained levels of stakeholder
satisfaction, as well as the attainment of a final Grade 2 at this self-assessment. Further improvements
across all aspects of the programme’s management and delivery are anticipated during 2014-15.
Overall, the network’s overall effectiveness is judged to be “Grade 2 – Good”, significantly building upon the grades awarded during the two previous contractual years. A strategic priority for the next year is to at least maintain this grade.

Key Strengths
Continued good performance against all annual profiles set by the Department for Work and
Pensions. In addition, CDG – WISE Ability has fully demonstrated the essential behaviours
expected of a Prime provider under the Merlin Standard;
Values and principles are shared, embraced and embedded across partners’ organisational
practices. The supply chain places a very strong emphasis both on treating customers as
individuals and having a positive impact on their lives;
A skilfully fostered culture, which promotes positive and supportive interactions between
staff across the partnership network. Interactions are underpinned by professional and
responsive managers – who set high standards and raise both expectations and aspirations;
Very high levels of collaboration across the supply chain, including the sharing of resources,
knowledge and ideas – these collaborative practices promote the sharing of best practice
and support the creation of new solutions to complex issues.
What Customers & Employers Like
“My Adviser has been really helped me overcome my barriers and is always on hand when I
need that extra bit of support. Without my Adviser I don't know how I would cope.”
“My Adviser is very friendly and I don’ feel stressed or worried around him. I feel
comfortable to speak to my Adviser about any sort of problem – he is always there to help.”
“The support our fledging business has received has been very good – the Adviser has taken
the time to understand what skills we need to help us grow and develop further.”
“The current Adviser provides an excellent service. She is always supportive – and makes
herself available at short notice if an issues arises which we need to meet about.”
What Partners & Staff Like
“I am proud to tell people that I work as part of a supply chain that is focused on improving
the lives and future of vulnerable people.”
“An Adviser’s job is so difficult in so many ways, but to know that you have really made a
difference to someone’s life is an amazing feeling.”
“It’s great that we don’t count beans – we treat people as individuals, with needs.”
P a g e | 14
Key Areas for Improvement
Ensure that the transition to a more partner-led quality assurance approach, currently
underway, maintains the very robust activities and comprehensive outputs employed under
the previous prime-led approach;
Improve assessment and review activities, to support the partnership network to better
recognise and measure its contribution to (and impact on) the wider social objectives of the
Department for Work and Pensions – including the value for money it offers;
Whilst the management of staff CPD is broadly satisfactory across the supply chain, further
work is required within some supply chain partners to ensure the on-going assessment of
staff competency, with personal development plans formulated as a result.
What Customers & Employers Think Could Improve
“My Adviser was very helpful and supportive but needs more understanding of the barriers
someone faces when they have a physical disability.”
“My Adviser used a shared office – which meant that another Adviser joined in the
discussion with his own views. My discussion should have been private and confidential.”
“Speaking from an employer’s perspective, I think you should advertise your services more –
as not a lot of people seem to know about it.”
What Partners & Staff Think Could Improve
“Whilst I feel that I have the opportunity to contribute to decisions that will affect me, I
don’t feel that management decisions are always fully explained.”
“Sometimes there is too much information about topics that are quite abstract in relation to
my role.”
“As Advisers, we need more support in maintaining a workable balance between our main
duties, and the meetings and training that we have to attend.”

Detailed Findings
Performance
1. There has been continued good performance by the partnership network against its in-year
and contract life-to-date Short Job Outcome profiles. For this contractual year, the supply
chain achieved 102% of profile for Short Job Outcomes; this is the second consecutive year
that over-performance has been achieved (cf. 105% of profile for 2012-13; 69% of profile for
2011-12; 54% of profile for 2010-11). Performance against the performance network’s
contract life-to-date profile for Short Job Outcomes now stands at 83% (a 7% improvement on
last year’s position).
2. There has been an upturn in the supply chain’s Progressions performance, against both in-year
and contract life-to-date profiles. For this contractual year, the partnership network achieved
102% of profile for Progressions (cf. 83% of profile for 2012-13; 68% of profile for 2011-12;
222% of profile for 2010-11). Performance against the supply chain’s contract life-to-date
profile for Progression now stands at 112%.
3. The network had performed solidly with regards to the achievement of Sustained Job
Outcomes during 2012-13, and this solid performance has continued during this contractual
year, with the supply chain achieving 141% of profile (cf. 119% of profile for 2012-13; 168% of
profile for 2011-12; 239% of profile for 2010-11). Performance against the performance
network’s contract life-to-date profile for Sustained Job Outcomes now stands at 154%.
4. A detailed overview of performance for 2013-14 can be found at Annex 1. An overview of
contract life-to-date performance following the end of the previous contract year has also
been provided for comparison.
5. There has been continued good performance with regards to the partnership network’s
customer satisfaction targets. Overall customer satisfaction with programme delivery for the
contractual year was measured at 90%, meeting the internal target for the second consecutive
year (cf. 90% for 2012-13; 82% for 2011-12; 76% for 2010-11).
6. A copy of the Stakeholder Satisfaction Report for 2013-14 is available upon request. Further
judgements relating to customer, employer and staff satisfaction can also be found with the
Customer Experience and Staff & Support sections of this report.
7. Following DWP’s Merlin Standard assessment in November 2014, the supply chain was
awarded a “90% – Excellent” rating (the highest assessment level that can be awarded). The
report praised the continued improvements implemented since the previous assessment
(carried out in April 2011) in which “75% – Excellent” was awarded.

“It is evident to the Assessment Team that CDG – WISE Ability and its supply chain are clearly committed
to developing their excellent approach, in order to ensure the best possible outcomes for the customers
they support.” - Merlin
8. To the best of the partnership network’s knowledge, no other Work Choice supply chain has
achieved a combined “Strong Assurance” from DWP Provider Assurance Team (PAT) and
“Excellent” from the Merlin Standard.
9. A copy of the Merlin Standard Assessment Report for November 2014 is available upon
request. Further details from the report regarding the principles of supply chain design,
commitment, conduct and review have also been included within sections of this report where
appropriate.
10. CDG – WISE Ability continues to use simple and streamlined processes (introduced at the start
of programme delivery) to collect, measure and analyse management information (MI).
Comparative performance MI continues to be shared at all levels throughout the supply chain.
11. At supply chain partner level, all subcontractors delivering an end-to-end service must
complete and submit actual and forecast performance MI templates on a weekly basis. Those
subcontractors responsible for the management of protected places (places within supported
businesses, with guaranteed funding from DWP) complete a specialised template on a monthly
basis, detailing the number of filled and vacant places.
“CDG – WISE Ability’s simple approach to management information is well-liked by supply chain
partners, who feel it works very effectively for them – as it reduces administrative burden, allowing them
to focus their efforts on supporting customers.” - Merlin
12. At prime provider level, performance management information is recorded within a variety of
tools. The Customer Support Adviser and Administrator control the reporting of performance
management information via an internal whiteboard; the Partnership Director through Excel
Established processes to identify, collect and measure internal management information are in place
Management information systems are robust, producing consistent and accurate performance information
Management information assesses performance in supporting customers into work, encouraging progression and securing sustainable employment
Performance management information is shared at all levels throughout the supply chain

spreadsheets (one spreadsheet is specifically used for reporting to the Board of Trustees, the
other for reporting to all subcontractors).
13. The effectiveness of these processes (particularly with regards to both performance and
financial reporting) continues to be routinely tested as part of bi-annual governance auditing
activities. There is robust evidence to demonstrate that the production of management
information (and correlative financial claims to DWP) continues to represent a strong aspect of
CDG – WISE Ability’s organisational governance.
14. Performance continues to only ever be reported (either internally to subcontractors and the
Board of Trustees, or externally to DWP and other stakeholders) where it has been reconciled
against compliant evidence of activity, ensuring that programme delivery is managed on
accurate, timely and mutually agreed performance MI. In addition, a full reconciliation of all
management information continues to be carried out at the end of each contract year.
15. Contract performance and trend analyses have continued to develop over the life of the
contract as more MI has been made available, both internally and from DWP. As detailed
within the Performance section above, there is evidence of a consistently positive trend of
performance improvement across the partnership network.
16. In addition to the processes outlined above, CDG – WISE Ability’s utilizes supplementary MI
resulting from quality assurance and contract monitoring activities, to guard against an over-
reliance on using performance management information as the principle mechanism to assess
programme delivery. These activities are explored in greater detail within the Continuous
Improvement section of this report.
Customer Experience
17. Through the various channels available to them, customers continue to report a generally
positive experience whilst engaged in the programme. When programme delivery has been
directly observed (by both CDG – WISE Ability and subcontractors themselves), Advisers have
been seen to employ an open, friendly and supportive approach.
18. Following this year’s Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey, approximately 9 in every 10 customers
(96%) agreed that their Adviser is approachable, friendly and willing to help. In addition, just
under 9 in every 10 customers (88%) agreed that their Adviser helps to make them feel more
confident, as well as helping them with any problems.
P a g e | 18
19. Needs-assessment documentation continues to provide Advisers with a sufficiently robust
platform to explore their customers’ strengths, barriers to employment or barriers to
education. All needs-assessment processes continue to be supported by detailed instruction
within the Supplier Guidance, to ensure all tools are being used in the most effective (and
consistent way).
20. The quality of Advisers’ approach to needs-assessment continues to be evaluated through
customer satisfaction surveys, direct observation of programme delivery and quality assurance
auditing. There is robust evidence to demonstrate that CDG – WISE Ability’s delivery model
and customer documentation continues to facilitate a person-centred, individualised approach
to needs-assessment.
21. Around 9 in every 10 customers (91%) surveyed agreed with the statement that their Adviser
understands their needs at this initial stage on their journey (cf. 91% in 2012-13; 83% in 2011-
12; 88% in 2010-11).
22. These findings are similarly borne out through the results of this year’s observations of
programme delivery. There is clear evidence to demonstrate that customers’ needs are being
appropriately identified at the beginning of their journey on programme. Advisers generally
use their skills and expertise to quickly establish close rapport with their customers, promoting
trust and understanding.
23. Where Advisers have not been directly observed (and judgements have been based solely on
evidence presented in customers’ files), needs-assessment documentation continues to have
been completed to a generally good standard (maintaining the improvement from the previous
contractual year). The level of detail is sufficient to assure that Advisers are discussing all key
areas with their customers and have a solid understanding of their disability or health
condition-related barriers.
24. Further improvements are evident with regards to Advisers ensuring the on-going
identification of customer need, particularly for customers who have moved into employment.
Approximately 8 in every 10 customers (87%) surveyed agreed with the statement that their
Adviser identifies their needs on an on-going basis (cf. 68% in 2012-13; 68% in 2011-12; 64% in
2010-11). This is an improvement on the previous contractual year.
Initial assessment identifies the needs and abilities of all customers, to ensure the service delivered supports the needs of all individuals
Advisers use their skills and expertise to plan and deliver information, advice and guidance to meet each customer’s needs
Advisers initially assess customer’s starting points, monitor their progress and set challenging tasks
P a g e | 19
25. Working closely with Jobcentre Plus, CDG – WISE Ability remains proactive in ensuring that
customers are allocated to the most appropriate subcontractor at the point of referral. There
are continued, clear examples of where customers have been transferred within the supply
chain to ensure they receive the best possible support – with partners working together to
share relevant information and make the transition as easy as possible.
26. In addition, CDG – WISE Ability continues to ensure that customers have access to wider
support services “outside” of formal the supply chain, should they need (delivered by “Tier 3”
providers, with whom CDG – WISE Ability have formal agreements in place). A register of such
Specialist Support Organisations (SSOs) is periodically communicated to all delivery staff and
has continued to expand in number since the beginning of the programme (77 organisations
engaged contract life-to-date).
27. Engaging organisations to become SSOs is primarily carried out by the Partnership Director;
however all subcontractors are encouraged to identify (as well as review the ongoing suitability
of) such organisations. The SSO Register was reviewed as part of this year’s self-assessment
activities and continues to remain fit for purpose as a result.
“The supply chain have every effective strategies in place to ensure that customers have access to
additional support outside of the supply chain – partners report feeling empowered to use these wider
networks to enhance the support provided to customers.” - Merlin
28. In addition, CDG – WISE Ability promotes the use of Access to Work (AtW) funding (where
appropriate), in order to support customers (and their Employers) to overcome any practical
obstacles and enable them to do their job (e.g., adaptations to equipment, or travel to and
from work).
29. Additional collaborative activities are explored in greater detail within the Continuous
Improvement section of this report.
Effective strategies are in place to deliver comprehensive support services to customers through the use of wider networks outside of the supply chain
The supply chain works collaboratively to deliver comprehensive services to customers
Review and improvement strategies ensures that the supply chain continues to evolve and improve to meet the changing needs of customers
P a g e | 20
30. Throughout the supply chain, all forms of customer feedback are viewed as an opportunity to
review and improve our service delivery. The procedures governing customers’ formal
feedback and complaints have been designed with the intention of “encouraging” customers
to share their views. In addition, the supply chain is committed to addressing any problems or
issues in both a positive and proactive way, in order to ensure that they are resolved
appropriately and efficiently.
31. Following a customer’s start on programme, Advisers are expected to explain their own
organisation’s complaints process in addition to CDG – WISE Ability’s feedback mechanisms.
Where appropriate, Advisers are also expected to prompt their customers to share and discuss
their views throughout their time on programme (in particular as part of quarterly progress
reviews). As a consequence of Advisers generally employing an open, honest and friendly
approach, almost all customers raise queries or concerns directly with their Adviser on an
“informal” basis.
32. There has been further improvement with regards to Advisers communicating these feedback
mechanisms to customers, as reported via this year’s Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey – with
88% of customers agreeing that their Adviser has clearly explained how to raise a query or
make a complaint (cf. 76% in 2012-13; 73% in 2011-12; 68% in 2010-11). Further improvement
is anticipated during the next contractual year.
33. Where appropriate, customers’ comments are escalated to CDG – WISE Ability; the
organisation’s own queries and complaints procedure continues to be both well managed by
the Partnership Director, and fully understood by the other members of the Contracts Team.
34. The effectiveness of these processes continues to be routinely tested as part of bi-annual
governance auditing activities. There is robust evidence to demonstrate that all queries and
complaints continue to thoroughly investigated and resolved in a timely fashion.
35. The majority of stakeholders’ formal feedback is gathered through CDG – WISE Ability’s annual
Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey. The latest survey was conducted between April and August
2014. In total, 678 surveys were sent to customers, with 164 surveys (24%) completed and
returned; 138 surveys were also sent to customers’ employers, with 13 surveys (9%)
completed and returned. The response rate from both customers and employers remains
broadly in line with previous contractual years.
Customers’ feedback and complaints are routinely used to identify and implement continuous improvements to programme delivery
The supply chain actively seeks and uses feedback from all stakeholder groups to inform and improve practices
P a g e | 21
36. There is clear evidence demonstrating that the supply chain is continuing to assure that all
customers are engaged in healthy and safe Work Choice provision, particularly where
customers move into employment.
37. In partnership with employers, Advisers continue to ensure the completion of a workplace risk-
assessment (the Health & Safety Pre-Vet) once a customer starts their job. Supply chain
partners are now expected to employ more rigorous internal checks, in order to assure that
this has been completed.
38. In addition (but with the exception of those customers who have progressed directly from
Module One into self-declared unsupported employment1), CDG – WISE Ability’s claims
process requires supply chain partners to assure that all pre-vet activity has been carried out
prior to customers commencing work, so that the supply chain only (and ever) claims for
healthy and safe employment outcomes.
39. Whilst the partnership network’s management of customer health and safety is generally
satisfactory, further monitoring is also required by individual partners, to assure that
employers’ health and safety arrangements remain compliant with UK legislation on an on-
going basis. Ensuring that Advisers continue to work in partnership with employers, to review
completed workplace risk-assessments on an annual basis, remains an area for development
for the coming year.
40. Whilst improved mechanisms were introduced across the supply chain (in 2013) to manage,
control and report accidents or incidents involving customers, in some limited instances
subcontractors have not reported these according to process. Ensuring all accidents and
incidents are reported immediately to CDG – WISE Ability remains an area for development
over the next contractual year.
41. Valid HMG Baseline Security Standard (BPSS) disclosures are in place for all relevant members
of staff across the partnership network. Enhanced criminal records checks (as undertaken by
the Disclosure & Barring Service) continue to be completed as part of supply chain partners’
recruitment and selection processes.
1 In some instances, customers wish to progress directly from the pre-employment stage of the programme into unsupported employment, but do not wish their employer to know of their previous participation on the programme. This is termed “self-declared” unsupported employment, as the customer is responsible for providing CDG – WISE Ability with the evidence required to substantiate a claim for payment from DWP. In these instances only, Advisers are not required to complete a workplace risk-assessment with the customer’s employer, as doing so would disclose their previous participation on the programme.
There is effective operation of policy and processes to promote the health and safety of customers and to ensure compliance with Health & Safety legislation
Policies and processes are operating effectively to ensure the safeguarding of vulnerable groups
P a g e | 22
42. Each partner continues to maintain their own health, safety and safeguarding policies and
procedures. The routine review and monitoring of these policies and procedures continues to
be satisfactorily completed as part of CDG – WISE Ability’s contract management and Site
Monitoring Visit activities. As part of this activities, CDG – WISE Ability continues to conduct
health and safety inspections of subcontractors’ premises on at least an annual basis.
43. Staff understanding of their organisation’s own health, safety and safeguarding policies and
procedures continues to be satisfactory. Whilst there is evidence to demonstrate that these
areas are an integral part of partners’ commitment to staff members’ initial continual
professional development (CPD), it is not clear that annual refresher is independently taking
place across all subcontractors.
44. However, CDG – WISE Ability has continued to promote staff understanding and awareness of
health, safety and safeguarding throughout the contractual year as part of quarterly training
workshops. The partnership network has recently implemented a Safeguarding “champion”,
who shares their expert knowledge with all staff.
45. During the contractual year there has been some improvement with regards to Advisers raising
and testing their customers’ understanding and awareness of health, safety and safeguarding
as part IAG delivery (in particular, as part of quarterly progress-review activities). Ensuring that
all Advisers embed the health, safety and safeguarding cross-cutting themes into programme
delivery remains an area for development for the coming year.
46. The supply chain’s commitment to providing facilities or materials that meet the needs of
particular customer groups remains satisfactory. CDG – WISE Ability continues to ensure that
all customer-facing documentation is available in “easy-read” formats for the visually impaired.
Additionally, one member of the supply chain has moved to premises which offer improved
accessibility to their customers.
47. Where appropriate, Advisers continue to promote the use of Access to Work (AtW), in order to
support customers to overcome any practical obstacles through reasonable adjustments,
enabling them to participate in both the programme and employment itself. The partnership
network has recently implemented an Access to Work “champion”, who shares their expert
knowledge with all staff.
There is evidence of compliance with Equal Opportunities legislation and attaining results across a diverse range of customer groups
Equality and Diversity is promoted through the delivery of information, advice and guidance activities
The supply chain actively promotes Equality and Diversity and tackles both bullying and discrimination
P a g e | 23
48. CDG – WISE Ability has continued to establish relationships with additional Statutory Referral
Organisations (SROs) throughout the programme’s lifetime, in an effort to engage potential
customers who are not typically engaged with Jobcentre Plus services.
“The partnership network demonstrate a strong commitment to ensure an alignment of their
commitments to Equality & Diversity.” - Merlin
49. Equality & Diversity MI continues to be collected for all customers who voluntarily wish to
share such information. This data is analysed annually alongside performance data (as well as
compared with local demographic data) in order to ensure parity of outcomes across all
customer groups. Trend analyses have continued to develop over the life of the contract as
more MI has been made available (both internally and from DWP).
50. As the partnership network cannot directly refer potential customers onto the programme,
there is extremely limited scope to directly respond to any changes in the demography of the
Contract Package Area (CPA) or to directly engage with any under-represented customer
groups. Consequently, there are no strategic targets to increase the numbers of certain
customers not engaged in the programme.
51. Each partner continues to maintain their own Equality & Diversity policies and procedures.
The routine review and monitoring of policies and procedures continues to be satisfactorily
completed as part of CDG – WISE Ability’s contract management and Site Monitoring Visit
activities.
52. Staff understanding of their organisation’s own Equality & Diversity policies and procedures
continues to be satisfactory. Whilst there is evidence to demonstrate that these areas are an
integral part of partners’ commitment to staff members’ initial continual professional
development (CPD), it is not clear that annual refresher is independently taking place across all
subcontractors.
53. During the contractual year there has been some improvement with regards to Advisers raising
and testing their customers’ understanding and awareness of Equality & Diversity as part of
IAG delivery (in particular, as part of quarterly progress-review activities). Ensuring that all
Advisers embed the Equality & Diversity cross-cutting themes into programme delivery
remains an area for development for the coming year.
54. Further improvement work is also required to ensure the promotion of employers’
understanding and awareness of equality, diversity and equality and opportunity (e.g.,
ensuring that all Employers meet the legislative requirements of equality of opportunity
through inspection and review; challenging poor employer practices with regards to Equality &
Diversity).
P a g e | 24
Continuous Improvement
55. Observations of programme delivery continue to be completed by CDG – WISE Ability, to
ensure that all partners’ programme delivery is compliant with DWP requirements, quality-
assured and continually improving. Observations are now completed by CDG – WISE Ability on
at least a quarterly basis (previously bi-annually).
56. Supply chain partners are now also expected to complete internal observations of their
Advisers’ programme delivery on at least quarterly basis; CDG – WISE Ability now conducts
more rigorous checks as part of quarterly Subcontractor Monitoring Visits (SMVs), in order to
assure that this has been completed. As a result, the practice of observations has been further
embedded into subcontractors’ approach to performance management and quality assurance.
57. In addition, the supply chain has begun holding observation moderation meetings, in an effort
to strengthen the identification and sharing of best practice (as well as supporting the
standardization of judgements that result from the observations themselves). As result, minor
improvements have been made to the Observation Template. The supply chain has committed
to continuing all moderation activities over the coming year.
58. CDG – WISE Ability continues to undertake Quality Monitoring Visits (QMVs) on a quarterly
basis for all subcontractors. All findings from this audit assurance activity are formally
reported to CDG – WISE Ability’s Partnership Director and individual supply chain partner;
where any issues are identified, clear Quality Improvement Plans (QIPs) are implemented to
remedy any areas for development.
59. QMV activity continues to place its greatest focus on the key Adviser competencies necessary
for excellent service delivery (e.g., assessing individual need; planning of customer
development and support; reviewing of customer progress; and providing information, advice
and guidance) believing quality – rather than contractual compliance – to be main driver of
customer satisfaction and performance improvement.
60. However, monitoring of adherence to all contractual requirements (e.g., setting minimum
Guided Support Hours; meeting face-to-face with customers at least monthly; and completing
Progress Reviews at least quarterly) continues to be undertaken as part of audit assurance
activity, with any variance communicated to supply chain partners.
Effective processes and policies are in place to review and assess the quality of service and customer experience
Processes are in place to ensure access to and provision of effective information, advice and guidance
Quality assurance activity is monitored and analysed to inform and improve service delivery for customers
P a g e | 25
61. The results of both observations of programme delivery and Quality Monitoring Visits continue
to inform the planning and content of all-staff quarterly training workshops.
“CDG – WISE Ability uses a range of tools to ensure effective and proportionate approaches are in place
to monitor the quality of delivery and customer experience within the supply chain. These approaches
are well-liked by partners as it supports them to build capacity and improve delivery.” - Merlin
62. Supply chain partners are now also expected to complete their own internal audit activity on at
least a quarterly basis; CDG – WISE Ability now conducts more rigorous checks, as part of
quarterly Subcontractor Monitoring Visits (SMVs), in order to assure that this has been
completed. As a result, internal audit practices have been further embedded into
subcontractors’ approach to performance management and quality assurance.
63. One member of the supply chain has now assigned a dedicated member of staff to provide
quality and compliance support to their Advisers. This has helped Advisers to improve their
understanding of both the programme’s compliance requirements and how evaluative
judgements regarding quality have been made. This is an improvement on the previous
contractual year.
“Current quality assurance arrangements place too much reliance on CDG – WISE Ability and there is a
need to ensure that the transition to the more partner-led approach, currently underway, maintains the
very robust activities and comprehensive outputs.” - Merlin
64. Collaborative working and the sharing of best practice are now firmly embedded within the
culture and day-to-day operating practices of the supply chain. However, these aspects of
supply chain excellence take place to the greatest extent through quarterly Steering Group
meetings and Practitioners’ Forums.
65. Steering Group meetings are attended by senior management staff (both of the supply chain
and of key stakeholders, such as DWP and Jobcentre Plus) and discuss consistency of
programme delivery, quality assurance and continuous improvement. Continued
improvements have been made as a result (e.g., the introduction of Pre-PRaP Advisers across
the partnership network), with analogous increases in customer engagement.
The supply chain identifies, understands and learns from factors which facilitate or hinder delivery of high quality service provision
Good practices and innovative approaches that have resulted in improved performance results are verified and shared across the supply chain
The supply chain works collaboratively to support and promote the performance of the entire network
P a g e | 26
66. Excellent collaborative working also takes place at a local level, with supply chain partners
meeting each other regularly – and through careful facilitation by CDG – WISE Ability, the
partnership network works very well in developing and sharing operational solutions. Suitable
employment vacancies for customers continue to be shared between Advisers, promoting the
Short Job Outcome performance of the entire network.
67. Practitioners’ Forums are attended by delivery staff from across supply chain and discuss
common delivery issues, challenges and areas for improvement. Case-conferencing is now a
standard feature of Practitioners’ Forums and, in some instances, good practice has been
identified and shared (particularly concerning some of the programme’s hardest-to-help
customers).
“CDG – WISE Ability and its supply chain demonstrated that they work in a highly collaborative manner,
including the sharing of resources, knowledge and ideas – these collaborative practices promote the
sharing of best practice and support the creation of new solutions to complex issues” - Merlin
P a g e | 27
Staff & Support
68. In addition to annual appraisals, supply chain partners are expected to support their staff
through 1:1s on at least a monthly basis; CDG – WISE Ability now conducts more rigorous
checks, as part of quarterly Subcontractor Monitoring Visits (SMVs), in order to assure that this
has been completed.
69. As detailed within the Continuous Improvement section above, partners are expected to
provide additional support to Advisers’ through internal observations and audit activity. As a
result of this support, staff have an improved understanding of what’s expected of them and
continue to welcome further advice and guidance on how to improve aspects of their
performance.
70. Whilst staff support mechanisms require further improvement within some supply chain
partners, overall morale across the supply chain appears high and staff generally report being
happy and motivated in their roles.
71. Across the partnership network, new staff continued to be inducted to a broadly good
standard. Continuing the improvements implemented in late 2012, newly recruited Advisers
are given the opportunity to shadow well-established members of staff in order to gain a
robust understanding of how best to go about their duties. Where appropriate, new staff are
also nominated a “buddy” to help them settle into their new organisation and role as quickly
as possible.
72. CDG – WISE Ability has continued to supported partners with the initial orientation and
induction of their new members of staff, through one-day workshops with the Quality
Manager. These workshops have supported new staff to understand: the customer and
delivery journeys; all customer and outcome documentation; and the quality and compliance
requirements of the programme. This continues to be appreciated and valued by the supply
chain.
Provision is improved through rigorous performance management and appropriate professional development
Staff are in post with the skills and expertise to meet the needs of participants
Leaders successfully support the planning and management of the programme, to ensure the needs and interests of customers are met
The Prime actively promotes and facilitates the development of staff within its supply chain
P a g e | 28
73. CDG – WISE Ability also continued its commitment to the general development of partner staff
throughout the contractual year, principally through quarterly all-staff training workshops
(these events generally focused on the development or improvement of competencies
necessary for staff to complete their role effectively). Staff are invited to complete an
evaluative review following a workshop, supporting CDG – WISE Ability to analyse
effectiveness and inform future practice. Feedback from training workshops remains
consistently positive and delivery is judged to be effective.
“Supply chain partners are supported and developed very well and individual partners report CDG – WISE
Ability’s approach to be excellent. CDG – WISE Ability strongly believe in their role as facilitators, to
ensure that partners’ capacity is built and developed.” - Merlin
74. Each partner continues to maintain their own continual professional development (CPD)
policies and procedures. The routine review and monitoring of policies and procedures
continues to be satisfactorily completed as part of CDG – WISE Ability’s contract management
and Site Monitoring Visit activities.
75. Whilst the management of staff CPD is broadly satisfactory across the supply chain, further
work is required within some supply chain partners to ensure the on-going assessment of staff
competency, with personal development plans formulated as a result. CDG – WISE Ability has
continued to signpost (and encourage the take-up of) appropriate external training
opportunities to the partnership network.
76. CDG – WISE Ability has held a number of events throughout the contractual year, to formally
recognise the hard work and successes of partners and their staff – including the second
annual Rewards & Recognition event was in January 2014, which was well-received by all who
attended.
“The team at CDG – WISE Ability are great and very supportive, they know all the staff by name and they
care – that’s evident through the way they say thanks.” - Partner feedback at Merlin Assessment
P a g e | 29
Leadership & Management
77. CDG – WISE Ability and its partners remain as committed as ever to operating the Work Choice
programme with integrity. From the Board of Trustees down to the Contracts Team, we
demand a high level of service for all of our customers and our supply chain strive to provide it.
Staff within all subcontractors remain fully committed to quality improvement.
78. CDG – WISE Ability’s parent organisations (Shaw Trust and WISE Ability) remain committed to:
innovation and integrity in the way the partnership network is managed; achieving and
maintaining excellent performance, alongside delivering a high quality service; and
encouraging customer self-sufficiency and empowerment through employment. We strive,
individually and collectively, for a society in which employment is available to all persons.
“CDG – WISE Ability have developed a supply chain that shares its very strong commitment to its own
organisational values. The partnership network has a very strong focus on the person whom it supports,
and staff at all levels passionately display their belief in inclusive employment.” - Merlin
79. The supply chain’s “working environment” continues to be open and honest. Success is
celebrated as a team, and all partners strive to learn from one another, by sharing best
practice, in order continually improve.
80. When partners or their staff are not sure how best to proceed, all are encouraged to ask for
further support and guidance from CDG – WISE Ability, safe in the knowledge that doing so is a
positive thing. Problems or issues are addressed positively and proactively, in order to ensure
that they are effectively resolved.
Leaders demonstrate an ambitious vision, have high expectations for what all customers can achieve and attain high standards of quality and performance
The supply chain is governed by a mutually agreed set of core principles that are embedded in organisational practices
The supply chain has created a culture in which communication is open and honest
Interactions between managers and staff are positive and supportive at all levels throughout the supply chain
The supply chain communicates proactively and effectively at all stages of programme delivery, underpinned by established communication processes
P a g e | 30
“Interactions are very positive and supportive – this is an area of particular strength for the partnership
network. A ‘no fear culture’ has been established and staff readily confirm that they feel safe to ask
questions where they feel unsure about anything.” - Merlin
81. Communication throughout the supply chain continues to be very proactive and positive. CDG
– WISE Ability recognises the importance of clear, consistent and timely communication, as
well as the requirement of all staff to understand fully what is expected of them.
Consequently, CDG – WISE Ability remains committed to transparent and inclusive
communication to ensure that this is the case.
82. All supply chain partner staff take individual responsibility for their own understanding of what
is expected of them, and where they feel that piece of communication has not been
adequately clear, take the initiate to ask for further information, or ask questions to clarify.
83. The Partnership Director continues to manage the dissemination of vital information via email
(the e-Bulletin). Over the contractual year, CDG – WISE Ability has continued to support supply
chain partner staff to better understand the “operational priority” of e-Bulletins, through the
use of the “traffic light” colour-coding system.
84. Whist the Merlin Standard Assessors judged CDG – WISE Ability’s management of
communication to be highly effective, a proportion of staff (particularly Advisers) continue to
report that the volume of information can at times be extensive, such that they find it difficult
to fully digest all bulletins. As part of our commitment to quality improvement, CDG – WISE
Ability will continue to review all communication methods in order to ensure they remain
effective as possible.
85. CDG – WISE Ability continues to recognise that consultation is a key stage of engagement with
all of its stakeholders, as it ensures that any decisions are informed by listening to those who
may be affected by new proposals. As a result, CDG – WISE Ability has continued to actively
consult with its stakeholders when designing, modifying or improving its systems and processes.
86. The views and suggestions of subcontractor staff (particularly Advisers) were sought as part of
the on-going improvement work to customer documentation and the Supplier Guidance during
April 2014.
Consultation with the supply chain informs decisions, including the designs of systems and processes
An effective and inclusive process for generating an annual Self-Assessment Report and resultant Quality Improvement Plan is in place
P a g e | 31
“Supply chain partners are very complimentary of the consultative approach to the design and
improvements of systems and processes – staff describe clearly how they feel empowered to approach
CDG – WISE Ability with both ideas and concerns.” - Merlin
87. CDG – WISE Ability and its supply chain recognise that self-assessment is a fundamental
condition of its contract with the Department for Work and Pensions. More pertinently, we
also recognise its importance in driving improvements across all aspects of our management
and delivery. As a result, annual self-assessment and improvement-planning are the
cornerstones of our approach to the Work Choice programme.
88. An objective and honest evaluation was carried out in July 2014, covering all 11 statements
within DWP’s Self-Assessment Tool. Our evaluations have been based on the partnership
network as a whole; our judgements have been based on clear, solid and comprehensive
evidence (including feedback from customers and staff, performance data, observations of
programme delivery and quality monitoring visit reports).
89. CDG – WISE Ability continued to engender an inclusive and cooperative self-assessment
process. This self-assessment report was informed by effective consultation with members of
staff from all levels across the partnership network, as well as other key stakeholders
(including customers, their employers and Jobcentre Plus).
90. An interactive one-day workshop was facilitated to collect the views of both operational
management and delivery staff working within the supply chain. Advisers and Administrators
were encouraged to team-up and engage with peers from outside their organisation;
Managers were similarly supported to lead groups containing other partners’ members of
staff. This approach continued to foster greater levels of transparency and accountability
across the partner network.
91. As part of CDG – WISE Ability’s commitment to its quality values of honesty, integrity,
transparency and accountability, the findings of this Self-Assessment Report will be shared
with all supply chain partners, the Steering Group, the Board of Trustees, the Department for
Work and Pensions and our participants (via our website).
92. As part of our commitment to rectifying any areas for development and improving the overall
quality of provision, CDG – WISE Ability and the supply chain have committed to preparing and
finalising a Quality Improvement Plan immediately.
P a g e | 32
93. At all levels the partnership network communicates clearly with one another, as well as
working hard to ensure that all reporting (both internally and to our key stakeholders) is
accurate and provides a true reflection of the work that is actually being done.
94. Contract management review activity takes place at least monthly between the Partnership
Director and individual supply chain partner. CDG – WISE Ability’s Contract Management
Framework and Risk Register supports all partners in remaining fully aware of their obligations
and responsibilities in the management and delivery of the programme.
“CDG – WISE Ability has an excellent approach to performance management – a skilfully fostered culture
has been developed and interactions are mutually beneficial. Partners confirmed that Contract Reviews
provide excellent opportunities to identify and challenges or support needs.” – Merlin
95. Performance expectations are clear, well-designed and understood by all parties. Under-
performance continues to be clearly highlighted and challenged by the Partnership Director
during both contract management and Steering Group activities.
96. Each supply chain partner remains fully accountable for their own performance and, where
they foresee issues arising, continue to raise them proactively and as early as possible, so that
they can be supported in the most appropriate way. CDG – WISE Ability has continued to offer
further guidance and support to partners who have had difficulties in meeting performance or
quality targets.
97. The very open and honest discussion between CDG – WISE Ability and individual partners are
very effective in quickly identifying differences in anticipated performance outcomes. The
information gathered and analysed ensures that support can be deployed quickly, in order to
ensure that the success of the entire network is not compromised.
“CDG – WISE Ability ask us challenging questions when we don’t come in with the results we’d promised
– but it’s done in a supportive way, not in an accusatory way.” - Partner feedback at Merlin Assessment
Clear communication channels are in place to ensure that there is no ambiguity regarding the relationship underpinning supply chain arrangements
Clear channels are available for regular performance review of supply chain partners
P a g e | 33
98. CDG – WISE Ability continues to support the Government’s main goals as set out in the UK
Strategy for Sustainable Development; the targets as outlined in Greening Government
Operations and Procurement; and European Social Fund (ESF) Match Funding’s cross-cutting
commitments.
99. CDG – WISE Ability and each individual supply chain partner continue to maintain their own
policy statement demonstrating how they will satisfy and adhere to the principles of
sustainable development. The routine review and monitoring of this policy (and associated)
procedures continues to be satisfactorily completed as part of CDG – WISE Ability’s contract
management and Site Monitoring Visit activities.
100. CDG – WISE Ability continues to undertake assurance activity to ensure that supply chain
partners’ waste is disposed of by registered waste collectors; that ink cartridges and toners are
recycled (of disposed of correctly); and that Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
regulations are observed.
101. CDG – WISE Ability has a fully compliant Sustainable Development Plan in place, detailing a
baseline assessment of the supply chain’s current position in terms of waste minimisation,
recycling levels and energy consumption, as well as on-going estimates of any progress made
over the contractual year.
102. However, further improvements are required to ensure that sustainable development is firmly
integrated into programme delivery, so that environmental (or community) benefits can be
delivered alongside improving the employability of participants. Improvement work should
continue to focus on raising staff and participants’ understanding and awareness of their
sustainable development responsibilities.
Policies and processes are in place to ensure environmental sustainability is embedded and monitored throughout the supply chain
There is evidence of compliance with contractual requirements relating to sustainable development
Through the activities of supply chain partners there is a positive impact on improving environmental sustainability
