Supported employment and Commissioning
Type:
Guidance This publication summarises the learning from work undertaken by NDTi around supporting people with learning disabilities and people with mental health problems into paid work. Conclusions include that there is:
* An overall weakness in the planning and commissioning processes
* Limited understanding amongst many commissioners of the evidence base around what works
* Inadequate actions to expand the market for employment supports
* A failure to link employment supports to the growth of individual budgets.
