WORKSTEP provides job support to over 26,000 disabled people who face more complex barriers to getting and keeping a job, but who can work effectively with the right support. It enables eligible disabled people to realise their full potential to work within a commercial environment, giving them, whenever possible, an opportunity to progress into open employment. The programme also offers practical assistance to employers.

Since the 1997 election, the Labour Government has pursued an ambitious programme of welfare reform. Central to this are the New Deal programmes, aimed at getting people into work and helping them to stay in work. They include compulsory programmes for young people and the long-term unemployed, and voluntary programmes for lone parents and disabled people. This report provides the first overview of the key results, comparing the different New Deal programmes and placing them in the context of the broader frame of welfare to work policies. The research shows that there has been a positive impact on employment rates, and that participation in the New Deal often helps people improve their job-seeking strategies, confidence and skills. One of the main innovations, and central to the way participants perceive the New Deal, is the key role given to the ‘personal advisers’.
