Does anyone here have experence with the restart scheme?

Another couple of similar schemes / refreshed names which are live currently:

(England & Wales):

- Connect To Work (part of the Get Britain Working Strategy), and

- Local Supported Employment (LSE) ...which may be advertised as though it is a local council initiative ...but the forms rapidly make it clear: they are actually Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) forms for a DWP-funded programme.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/connect-to-work

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/local-supported-employment-guidance-for-local-authorities

(Numerous - forms involved, including one of which is an 18 page pdf for the person looking for employment to complete!).

These initiatives are intended to support people who are disabled / with learning disabilities / have experienced a mental health issue / are Autistic / face barriers to employment.

However, whoever designed the application / onboarding process and the associated forms and online questionnaire clearly did not receive that memo!
