As the article says, been in play for some years.. though I would say its not just CAB.
I don’t think we ever managed to get an actual list out of the DWP via FOI but its not hard to envisage essentially any significant organization in receipt of government money being in on it.
Unfortunately our elected representatives have over the last few decades normalised the secrecy of how our tax pounds are used.
The idea that public funds allocation is tied up in NDA’s to protect the commercial interests of companies wishing to bid for public contracts is a nonsense. But it has continued to be normalised , one can only assume in the interests of those who enable such diciet.
The last bastions that our society built to keep a check on the powers that be. Have had to be captured as well. So the likes of CAB Mind Cancer UK age concern… the majority of rights campaign orgs… Have turned in to service providers and virtue messengers.
Mind actually had a senior member of staff on secondment to the DWP exploring work will set you free therapy sessions in the fucking job center. The CEO of Mind Paul Farmer was caught on camera lying his self serving little arse off about it. a year or so later mind took on a director of services…
Where has mind been when Theresa may hurriedly had the mental health act rewritten over seen by the infamous establishment safe pair of hands Simon Weasley… Working on the next marathon fund raiser probably.
We have allowed those who hold power to account to be colliosed by the same sharks that are supposed to be elected to serve us.
