A practical tool to help commission and provide cost effective employment support that also achieves good outcomes for people with learning disabilities and people with mental health problems. The review tool provides a number of questions and identifies data to collect to help commissioners gain an insight into the effectiveness of current provision and identify further action. The questions focus more on individualised employment support (supported employment for people with learning disabilities and Individual Placement and Support for people with mental health problems) and self-employment as the NIHR School for Social Care commissioned research on which the toolkit is based found these options delivered the best employment outcomes. Key findings from the research are also included. (Edited publisher abstract)
