Job Losses
There appears to be little or no support structure in place to help these vulnerable people now or in future. For those wishing to move on to new employment, Rehab has promised that a full labour market service tailored to their individual needs will be put in place to assist them to secure alternative employment, either within companies of the Rehab Group or otherwise. However, it is the view of the families that this is just a PR gesture and they do not believe that it is true, even though I clarified it for them. I understand that this transition will help them for up to six months under the National Learning Network. After this the employees will be left to fend for themselves.
