The aim of this study, commissioned by Kent County Council, is to develop a cost benefit framework that is robust enough to accurately identify the potential costs and savings to the local authority and taxpayer of delivering supported employment for people with learning disabilities through the Kent Supported Employment Agency service. The first phase of the 3 phase study, focusing on people with learning disability who had gained work from March 2009 to February 2010, is summarised in this report. The report sets out the method used, descriptive results, and cost benefit outcomes. The estimates show that there is a notional saving on average for people going into supported employment compared with average day service costs. The discussion of results notes that there are a number of uncertainties in the data, and that further work will be needed in phase 2 to obtain more detailed information and refine the analysis.
