The provision will include In-Work Support which will be tailored to the need of the Participant to maximise the chances of work attained becoming sustained employment. The Provider must meet ESF specific requirements set by the European Commission and failure to comply can result in a high financial risk for both the Provider and DWP, as funds used inappropriately or for ineligible Participants or purposes and/or where the ESF requirements have not been met are recoverable from Providers.
