Contact: Tell your Jobcentre and Work Programme Adviser that you only agree to be contacted by letter.
Your CV: Remember that you do not have to give either the Jobcentre or any Work Programme Provider or Subcontractor a printed or electronic copy of your CV to keep. Though it might be reasonable to provide evidence of your ability to create, maintain and make use of one, which could mean only showing them a version of your CV, do not give them a copy to keep.
