What barriers prevent people with disabilities and/or health conditions from moving into and progressing in work, and which interventions are most effective at addressing these barriers?
Background
We want to better understand transitions and fluctuations in health and disability over people’s lives and how they affect people’s employment, wellbeing and the support they need. We want to improve our understanding of the challenges disabled people and those with health conditions face in finding and/or sustaining employment. We also want to learn more about what roles different partners should play in providing an integrated approach to improving health and work outcomes, including employers and health professionals. We would like to better understand how we can best identify and support those who are unable, temporarily or permanently, to work
