To try to ascertain a profile of CE applicants and to see if there were any early signs of a negative impact on take-up of the programme, CityWide surveyed 37 Drug Rehab Community Employment Projects using the online tool, Survey Monkey. We asked projects for comparative numbers of CE participants on 31st December 2011 and on 31st March 2012. It also asked them for comparative information on their waiting list numbers over the same three month period and to make comment on any relevant impacts since the Social Welfare Bill.
