Good evening. The top storids: The new drive to get people on long term

benefits back to work in Guernsey. It means changes to doctors' sick

:00:17.:00:19.

notes and islanders made to do compulsory work placements.

:00:20.:00:22.

Meanwhile, in Jersey, the Government is promising to pay employers to

:00:23.:00:26.

take on young people who have been out of a job for at least shx

:00:27.:00:28.

months. It will cost over ?600,000 months. It will cost over ?600, 00

:00:29.:00:35.

in taxpayers' money. And excitement builds as Olympic diver Tom Daley is

:00:36.:00:37.

to bring the Commonwealth G`mes to bring the Commonwealth Games

:00:38.:00:40.

baton to Jersey as it reachds British soil.

:00:41.:00:51.

He is young, he is popular, he is good`looking, he is on TV a lot

:00:52.:01:03.

There's a new drive to get Guernsey people on low incomes who receive

:01:04.:01:06.

people on low incomes who rdceive top`up benefits into work. Carers,

:01:07.:01:08.

single parent families and anyone single parent families and `nyone

:01:09.:01:11.

with a short term illness whll be among those affected. Under the

:01:12.:01:15.

Progress to Work scheme, unveiled by social security today, job seekers

:01:16.:01:18.

will have to attend regular work`focused meetings, do

:01:19.:01:19.

compulsory, unpaid work placements, and there'll be changes to doctors'

:01:20.:01:28.

sick notes. Emma Chambers reports. A normal lunchtime on Guernsey's

:01:29.:01:32.

high street. But for those receiving supplementary benefits, it's the

:01:33.:01:35.

first day of a new project to get them back into work. The social

:01:36.:01:40.

security department have today launched the Progress to Work

:01:41.:01:44.

scheme. It's a scheme which involves attending mandatory meetings to get

:01:45.:01:45.

the unemployed ready for the work the unemployed ready for the work

:01:46.:01:49.

place ` and if they don't, they could incur a penalty.

:01:50.:01:56.

I have experience of working with job`seekers. They are happy to

:01:57.:02:00.

engage in the process because they want to get back to work. We

:02:01.:02:03.

engage in the process because they want to get back to work. Wd expect

:02:04.:02:03.

want to get back to work. We expect to have the same approach whth the

:02:04.:02:05.

to have the same approach with the other customers as well. Thhs is

:02:06.:02:07.

other customers as well. This is about offering support. For those

:02:08.:02:11.

not ready yet, it is about getting the right support in place so they

:02:12.:02:14.

can return to work when they are can return to work when thex are

:02:15.:02:16.

able to. Those on incapacity benefits are

:02:17.:02:19.

also being targeted. The wax they are assessed is being reviewed.

:02:20.:02:26.

That will be looking at how we support and help people with health

:02:27.:02:27.

problems in work, and how we help problems in work, and how wd help

:02:28.:02:32.

people with health problems return to work. The way we would do that is

:02:33.:02:36.

to look at the obstacles that there may be preventing people from

:02:37.:02:40.

returning to work, and try to support them obstacles to bd broken

:02:41.:02:44.

support them obstacles to be broken down.

:02:45.:02:46.

Every government would like to bring their welfare bill down, but most

:02:47.:02:49.

would agree there has to be a financial safety net for people who

:02:50.:02:53.

really are unable to work. So how will these tough new measurds

:02:54.:02:54.

really are unable to work. So how will these tough new measures go

:02:55.:02:55.

will these tough new measurds go down with the public?

:02:56.:03:00.

If they would cut down on it and get people back to work, we would all be

:03:01.:03:02.

better off. There are peopld who better off. There are people who

:03:03.:03:06.

simply cannot work due to long`term illness, but there are people who

:03:07.:03:08.

play the system. There are all sorts play the system. There are all sorts

:03:09.:03:13.

of reasons why people are not working. You cannot generalhse.

:03:14.:03:15.

of reasons why people are not working. You cannot generalise. So,

:03:16.:03:15.

working. You cannot generalhse. So, mixed reactions to this new system

:03:16.:03:18.

which Guernsey's government hope will reduce long`term unemployment.

:03:19.:03:21.

So will these government`imposed measures work? Well, Professor Dan

:03:22.:03:26.

Finn is an expert in the pros and cons of different ways of getting

:03:27.:03:28.

cons of different ways of gdtting people back into work. I spoke to

:03:29.:03:31.

him earlier from our Portsmouth studio to ask how Guernsey's

:03:32.:03:39.

approach compares to elsewhere. You can do this in a way th`t is

:03:40.:03:42.

harsh and punitive as they have done in some of the states in Amdrica,

:03:43.:03:45.

in some of the states in America, where they have gone back to the

:03:46.:03:47.

porn laws, virtually. Or yot can where they have gone back to the

:03:48.:03:49.

porn laws, virtually. Or you can do porn laws, virtually. Or you can do

:03:50.:03:52.

it in a modern way, as they do in the UK and Germany, where they have

:03:53.:03:56.

introduced requirements on people which are tailored to the

:03:57.:04:01.

circumstances of individuals. To be frank, the measures being introduced

:04:02.:04:08.

in Guernsey, in comparative terms, these were the types of reforms that

:04:09.:04:13.

you saw in many other OECD countries in the 1990s. Are there challenges

:04:14.:04:18.

specific to small islands lhke specific to small islands lhke

:04:19.:04:24.

Guernsey and Jersey? Yes, completely. There are challdnges and

:04:25.:04:27.

completely. There are challenges and opportunities. Local employdrs are

:04:28.:04:28.

opportunities. Local employers are well`known the services. It should

:04:29.:04:31.

be possible to broker the rhght be possible to broker the right

:04:32.:04:37.

types of placements. The ch`llenge will be for those people who have

:04:38.:04:41.

got very significant barriers, some of which will not be apparent at the

:04:42.:04:46.

first meeting. Then what happens is that it is likely to involvd other

:04:47.:04:49.

that it is likely to involve other services becoming involved. The most

:04:50.:04:52.

obvious one would be health services, of which they have their

:04:53.:04:55.

own problems in terms of behng services, of which they havd their

:04:56.:04:56.

own problems in terms of being able own problems in terms of being able

:04:57.:04:58.

to help people and assist them improve their employability.

:04:59.:05:03.

The idea of reassessing people deemed not well enough for work ` or

:05:04.:05:07.

changing who gets sick notes ` can be controversial. What are the

:05:08.:05:11.

challenges there? This is a very challenging area. And one where the

:05:12.:05:16.

UK has both made some mistakes, and has also got a lot of learnhng,

:05:17.:05:19.

which may be `` maybe the department which may be `` maybe the department

:05:20.:05:25.

in Guernsey will be able to learn from. Go slowly would be my advice.

:05:26.:05:32.

It depends on the nature of people's conditions. It depdnds on

:05:33.:05:34.

people's conditions. It depends on the nature of the kinds of jobs they

:05:35.:05:37.

are going to be able to place them in and the kind of support that may

:05:38.:05:41.

be available. One of the significant issues in the UK is around mental

:05:42.:05:49.

health and employment. Whilst work is generally good for peopld

:05:50.:05:50.

health and employment. Whilst work is generally good for people in

:05:51.:05:53.

terms of getting the habit back, regularity, people want to work.

:05:54.:06:00.

Some work, which may be stressful, is not afraid you would want to

:06:01.:06:05.

place people. Meanwhile, in Jersey, the States is promising to pay

:06:06.:06:07.

employers to take on young people who have been out of a job for at

:06:08.:06:11.

least six months. It's costing ?650,000 of public

:06:12.:06:14.

money, and it's hoped over a hundred jobs will be created. Sophid

:06:15.:06:15.

jobs will be created. Sophie Sulehria explains.

:06:16.:06:24.

Kevin's story is becoming familiar in Jersey. He's young, unemployed

:06:25.:06:27.

and eager for a break. The hndustry and eager for a break. The industry

:06:28.:06:36.

that I want to go into is the IT industry. I think it is really hard

:06:37.:06:40.

to get into because they want people with experience. And I cannot gain

:06:41.:06:44.

that experience without going to a work placement. But now employers do

:06:45.:06:47.

have an incentive to take pdople have an incentive to take people

:06:48.:06:50.

like Kevin without experience. This St Helier marketing company is

:06:51.:06:53.

looking into a new States offer to pay them around ?6,500 to t`ke

:06:54.:06:55.

looking into a new States offer to pay them around ?6,500 to take on a

:06:56.:06:55.

pay them around ?6,500 to t`ke on a young job seeker.

:06:56.:07:05.

It's open to all industries, provided the job created is a

:07:06.:07:12.

permanent one. With the forums, employers will be

:07:13.:07:16.

able to invest in these young people, more in their training, good

:07:17.:07:19.

people, more in their trainhng, good for the employer and good for the

:07:20.:07:23.

employee. And eventually upscaling our local industries.

:07:24.:07:26.

But there is a risk in taking on a new starter with no experience ` so

:07:27.:07:32.

why should employers take it? There is nothing more upsetting for a

:07:33.:07:34.

young person if they keep gdtting turned down for jobs. They get into

:07:35.:07:39.

a spiral, a downward spiral, and we need to help them. We need to get

:07:40.:07:44.

them into jobs. It's hoped that this scheme will get more than a hundred

:07:45.:07:48.

young people into a variety of jobs. Kevin hopes one of them has his name

:07:49.:07:53.

on it. I would love to go to a job

:07:54.:07:58.

placement. Even if it is not paid, I don't mind. It is just getting the

:07:59.:08:00.

don't mind. It is just getthng the experience I need.

:08:01.:08:02.

Conserved timbers from the Gallo Roman ship discovered in St Peter

:08:03.:08:07.

Port Harbour, arrived in Jersey today. The large timbers, which

:08:08.:08:08.

formed the base of the vessel, today. The large timbers, which

this afternoon. They were lifted from the Guernsey sea bed in 19 2,

:08:16.:08:17.

from the Guernsey sea bed in 1982, and have never been on publhc

:08:18.:08:18.

and have never been on public display before. They will form part

:08:19.:08:22.

of the Coin Hoard exhibition, due to open to the public on two June.

:08:23.:08:29.

`` on the 2nd of June. Guernsey FC's players will bear a

:08:30.:08:33.

new sponsor's logo from next season. The club has signed a three`year

:08:34.:08:35.

deal with Specsavers, replacing Sportingbet as the Green Lions' main

:08:36.:08:38.

sponsor. Sportingbet, which has sponsored GFC from the outset,

:08:39.:08:40.

sponsored GFC from the outsdt, closed its Guernsey office last

:08:41.:08:48.

year. Hugely important. The costs have

:08:49.:08:57.

gone up over the season. So in conjunction with our other sponsors,

:08:58.:09:02.

and the ticket sales from the great fans, the main sponsor was the

:09:03.:09:05.

missing link and it has been absolutely superb to get th`t nailed

:09:06.:09:07.

absolutely superb to get that nailed down.

:09:08.:09:09.

And staying with sporting news, thousands of islanders are dxpected

excited. He says: "This is the time for everyone to get behind their

around the corner. I'm counting down the days!" Well, Jersey athlete Zane

:09:53.:09:55.

Duquemin will be here too. He's the current British indoor shot putt

champion, and likely to qualify for the Games. And the 23`year`old told

:10:08.:10:17.

Tom Daley is a fantastic athlete. It will be great. A fantastic occasion.

:10:18.:10:24.

Of course, Tom Daley has become a big TV personality in the past few

:10:25.:10:26.

big TV personality in the p`st few years. So as well as attracting a

:10:27.:10:29.

crowd, it's hoped he'll inspire the island's next generation of sporting

:10:30.:10:31.

stars. I think it's a massive effect. Any

:10:32.:10:33.

celebrity who has won Nurnberg celebrity who has won Nurnberg
