Signposting
The tedious, tiresome process of organisations (often charities) paid and set up to help those in need - to instead send those same people on elsewhere - so they can tick their tickboxs - meet their "service targets" and feel generally good about not actually helping the individual but moving them onto someone else - only for that person to signpost them on to someone else (usually in the form of a bunch of weblinks that any fool with google can find but doesnt need)
