We asked the Department whether it could be more proactive in sharing basic information such as its district provision tool—essentially a list of local provision—with partners, so they could see what people were being referred to, and to see if they could plug gaps or offer alternative provision.63 The Department told us that it would “find a way” to do this.64 The Local Government Association also told us that it would like local mapping of provision, so that there is a clear picture of how new support schemes will add value to and align with local activity, and the Co-op group said that ‘continuing engagement and co-creation with employers’ should be a key component of the Department’s employment support strategy.65 58 Department for Work and Pensions, Call for evidence and good practice on in-work progression, available at Call for evidence and good practice on in-work progression - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) ; Supporting progression out of low pay: a call to action In-Work Progression Commission, 1 July 2021, available at: Supporting progression out of low pay: a call to action (publishing.service.gov.uk) 59 Q 45 60 Q 49 61 Qq 69, 73 62 C&AG’s Report, pg 38 63 Qq 82–83 64 Q 87 65 DES0006, Local Government Association submission, page 5; DES0007, Co-op Group submission, para 4.2 DWP Employment support 17
