Review of research and development initiatives intended to help disabled people get or stay in work, which takes the views of disabled people themselves as a yardstick by which to assess good practice. Draws on broad based consultations, pinpoints gaps in existing research, and highlights the varying requirements of disabled people, employers and service providers as users of research. Also identifies a need for the wide variety of development initiatives which exist to be more effectively targeted, more systematically evaluated, and brought to the attention of a much wider audience.
