Friday 14th December 2007
The Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) has recently launched a public consultation for improving specialist disability employment services.
This consultation contains proposals to reform the disability employment services that help disabled people who have complex issues to find, retain and progress in work – the Job Introduction Scheme, Work Preparation, WORKSTEP, Access to Work and the role of Disability Employment Advisers in Jobcentre Plus.
DWP are seeking views about the reforms proposed in the consultation. Particularly, they are interested to hear from disabled people, employers and organisations who represent the interests of disabled people.
This consultation gives you the opportunity to contribute to the improvement of Government services and have your say on employment issues. The consultation period begins on Monday 3 December 2007 and runs for 14 weeks until Monday 10 March 2008.
The consultation documents can be found at http://www.dwp.gov.uk/resourcecentre/des-consultation.asp
