Hello,
I just finished my 12 months with this time wasting Seetec restart scheme, which was setup to bully the most vulnerable people in society.
A word of warning to anyone getting sent to this scam restart scheme.
Don't sign any contract consent paperwork; only sign the fire assembly checkpoint and travel refunds. If you sign the contract paperwork, they will literally use this against you and share your personal details with any third-party contracts they have, e.g., job interviews, job offers, and courses without public transport. Any word NO, they go off running to your work coach, have you sanctioned, and not signing the contract forms isn't a sanctionable offence. If anyone knows the GDPR laws, it is also against the law for them to pressure you into signing a contract under duress in this country.
The DWP and work coach cannot have a say in where your personal details are being shared because they are a third-party private firm, this is your own wishes.
Anyone who signed their contract consent forms at the beginning exercises your rights. Ask your advisor to withdraw your consent forms under GDPR; it is the law to provide you with these withdrawal forms.
Yes, not signing these forms saves your mental health. They don't have any power to share your details with any third party; you are left alone, just turning up to your face-to-face mandatory appointments in and out. Talking about your hobbies and holidays to your advisor, etc., keep your work commitments easy by studying, doing work experience, and doing job interviews you source yourself. Keep your work coach updated in case they tend to raise any sanctions. That is all, these schemes, they use the unemployed to fund their private shareholders at the taxpayer's expense.
Never provide job details; when you find work, they will take credit for it.
I sourced myself some part-time work; they wanted to take credit, but I told them to go away.
