Given that the girl wants to continue working in charity shops as a career path, though not on a strictly voluntary basis. I think its a bit daft that they didnt just assign her work in a charity shop as opposed to a chain store that can actually afford to employ people to do the job she was forced into as a placement.

If the jobsworths in the Department of Work and Pensions actually pulled their fingers from their arses and did the job they were supposed to do, they could have approached the shop where she was working voluntarily and asked them to do the placement.

Or is that simply a question of common sense prevailing over bureacracy?

Mind you suing because she had to stop her voluntary work and follow guidelines she has signed up for by claiming jobseekers allowable is a bit laughable.

But this is the sort of thing we can expect in todays society after all where there is blame there is a claim.
