Recommendation 37

37 Paragraph: 243

Establish clear targets and measure performance for all programmes following OSR guidance.

Recommendation
DWP does not consistently set clear targets for its programmes or produce results against these targets. Where it has set targets previously, such as for Way to Work, these have been criticised as being inadequately defined and the results against these targets unsubstantiated. DWP should follow guidance from the Office for Statistics Regulation to establish targets and measure performance against these for all its programmes going forward.
