just wondering as im about to start the work program and need to know if it'll effect my christmas plans.

I'd check that with your local Jobcentre. The 27th is a normal working day, but I believe most folks who're due to sign on Thursday 27th and Friday 28th are excused. But confirm that with the staff at your office. If you have any appointments booked with JCP or your WP provider on that date you would need to attend them.

It's unlikely your WP provider will book you an appointment in the week between Xmas and new year, but if they do you would need to attend. Can't see it happening, though.

Yes I'm in work on Thursday and Friday next week.

Most providers are closing for the festive period but some may stay open it's up to the individual offices as to their opening days.

Because many claimants are excused from the requirement to sign during the festive season even though the offices are open. Show up to appointments as instructed by your Jobcentre and WP provider and you should be fine.

I can't say it's impossible, but as far as I've heard most WP providers are winding down for the holiday and will pick up again in the new year. So it's unlikely, but there's no rule to say it couldn't happen.
