There are a number of schemes which have been developed to help Disabled People back into work.

Government Programmes

Work Preparation

Work Preparation is a scheme where Disabled People or those with health problems are given experience of the work environment with supportive employers.  This helps them to return to work following a long period of sickness or unemployment.  It can also help people who are at risk of losing their job because of their disability by helping them to overcome difficulties that are affecting their work.  This leads to permanent employment in the majority of cases.

WORKSTEP

WORKSTEP provides job support to over 26,000 Disabled People who face more complex barriers to getting and keeping a job, but who can work effectively with the right support.  It enables eligible Disabled People to realise their full potential to work within a commercial environment; giving them, whenever possible, an opportunity to progress into open employment.  The programme also offers practical assistance to employers.
