Vocational Rehabilitation - the business case for retaining newly disabled staff
Paul - thats really interesting and a valuable piece of work.
Macmillan Cancer Support have also been looking at VR as well over the past couple of years. I’m leading a project in our Welfare Rights service which has “rights” as the focus. There is a strong synergy between benefits advice work and “employment support” work and something that I think many traditional WR services may start to consider.
NAWRA (interest declaration: regional rep/vice chair) has been developing links with organisations such as British Association for Supported Employment over a few years.
