Describes the journey people with mental health problems are experiencing in the workplace, the benefits system, and back-to-work schemes and explains what is going wrong at each stage, setting out a vision of what needs to be done to create a system that works. Sections in this report cover: living and working with a mental health problem, looking at the negative impact work can have on people with mental problems and at the barriers they face in the workplace; supporting people experiencing a mental health problem in work, including promoting good in-work support; the benefits and back-to-work system and how it affects people with mental health problems; and the role of the work capability assessment. In addition, the report discusses in detail why back-to-work support is not working for people with mental health problems, pointing to a lack of understanding about mental health and misplaced assumptions about why people need support, and outlines a new model of support, which should focus on the individual, understanding their barriers to work and how to overcome these and should be delivered on a local basis and integrated with local services, working with employers not only to provide suitable jobs, but also ongoing support. Within this model, the success of back-to-work support should not just be judged on whether it finds someone a job or not, but also on the wellbeing of that person. (Edited publisher abstract)
