The voluntary programme is delivered via two types of interventions: 1) Individual Placement and Support (IPS) 2) Supported Employment Quality Framework (SEQF) Connect to Work aims to support individuals who have a physical or mental health condition and/or disability, as defined by the Equality Act 2010 or the Social Model of Disability, to help them to move into competitive employment providing the support needed to gain and/or maintain in employment. Participants will come from two distinct cohorts: 1) Out of work participants with a health condition, disability, or who are experiencing disadvantage and require assistance and support to move into employment; 2) In work participants who are off sick or struggling in the workplace due to their disability, health condition or disadvantage.
