Over the course of the Restart scheme DWP expect start volumes to be circa 50% lower than originally planned. Volumes have been significantly lower than profile due to a combination of improved economic conditions resulting in a smaller target group, changes to the make-up of the group due to Covid and a lower than expected rate of suitability as assessed by Jobcentre Plus work coaches.
