Andi Y.

Just finished a year on Restart with Standguide.
The inside cover of the restart booklet, 3rd line 'Working together, we will make a plan and help you achieve your job goal.' Not true! There wasn't any working together, they wanted me to do it all myself, I didn't get a plan and I didn't get my job goal.
Three weeks before the course was due to end, they asked me to buy some clothes for job interview and they would refund the receipt, I am on universal credit in a cost of living crisis and don't have any spare cash to buy clothes. At my final meeting, my advisor did not ask about clothes and instead lied on my review, saying that I had found some clothes suitable and i had forgotten I had them, so I still have no clothes suitable for a job interview.
Yet another failed system that see's the rich getting richer and the poor getting no help.
