opening an account on find a job

Yes it was all very easy to do. No account needed to search. I was asked by my work roach to create a account. I questioned if it was mandatory and she said no.
I loved the fact that the verification email turned up in my junk file:lol:

Shouting if I spent less time finding out about rules and regulations I would have a job by now.

When referring to DWP FOI disclosures. It may be better to refer to
actual guidance* issued to Work 'Coaches' and mention such in meetings
with a Coach. If refused consider making a written complaint about the 'Coach'
and attach the guidance and possibly make reference to the
statutory Civil Service code ** and DWP's customer charter.***
Or ask to see a manager and if they too refuse add them to any formal written complaint****

Claimant: I would like you to follow your own Work Search Review guidance on Find a job,
here's a copy

Work Coach?

Whatever the culture is in a specific jobcentre, formal complaints should follow clear processes.

* "or other jobsites"

05 Work Search Review
Find a job or other jobsites
1.  As part of making use of the resources available to them to look for work, we can
reasonably expect most claimants to make best use of Find a job or other
jobsites.

****Complaints procedure

You can also make an online complaint about Jobseeker’s Allowance and Universal Credit
https://makeacomplaint.dwp.gov.uk/

You can also include in any complaint how you want matters resolved. IE: References to "other" jobsites.

All of this raises the questions of whether the 'Coach' has actually made any proposals to add 'Find a job' to a claimant commitment?

That sounds really good.

If possible, please copy and paste what you current claimant commitment says about jobsites. Curious to know if references are made to other jobsites, besides likes of Jobmatch.

Claimant commitment, Frank! Whats that!

I was asked to sign one back in 2015 but was unable to because I could not read and understand what was writen on it. That was the last I have heard about it. This begs the question how am I getting Job seekers allowence without a signed CC as stated in the regs?

Understand new regs allow a JSAg and CC to be 'accepted' by various means. Your situation is odd.

It's all a load of rubbish Frank. It was just that liar, George smiths Idea to get us all to conform without changing any legislation. Everything he touches turns to shit. UJ is down the pan. UC has cost 19.5 BILLION! and isn't looking promising. It's a shame he is promoting Brexit as I can see what is going to happen there.

I believe there is more to the story frank

oneman was around the cait reily saga and had a few back payments to be appealed due to those references

DWP says: ‘Find A Job’ findajob.dwp.gov.uk can be used with “cookies turned off”?

but also note

Even though an “authentication” may not require user consent [2] because
they are “essential to provide an online service at someone’s request”, FAJ requires consent to place all the other FAJ cookies on a users device, therefore setting a browser to block cookies [3] will also block “authentication” and therefore it will not be possible
to sign-in and then set up an FAJ account[4], create a profile or upload a CV.
