Central proposals in the consultation include developing and enhancing the role of Disability Employment Advisers in Jobcentre Plus so that each individual gets support that is tailored to their needs to help them achieve their employment goals; and moving away from separate programmes of support such as the Job Introduction Scheme, Work Preparation and WORKSTEP towards a single integrated programme which provides a more personalised employment service for disabled people. The proposals in the consultation complement other major reforms by the DWP aimed at supporting those who need the most help to find, retain and progress in work; including the modernisation of Remploy, Pathways to Work and a Flexible New Deal all of which will offer additional specialist help for people with greater support needs.
