Research on disabled people and employment has previously focused on the barriers to getting and keeping work, the connection between work and benefits, or policy analysis of rehabilitation, workplace disability management and retaining people in work. Little attention has been paid to how disabled people who are in employment manage to survive or indeed thrive in the workplace. This study explored the strategies used by disabled workers to get by in the workplace, and looked at the nature and role of support received by disabled workers.

Provides a brief discussion of the historical background to employment policy for disabled people, focusing in particular on job rehabilitation and work preparation policies and programmes. Goes on to discuss the nature and outcomes of the Work Preparation Programme in Scotland, drawing on DfEE-funded research. Concludes that the Programme is only achieving modest gains. Particular groups of disabled people, such as people with mental health problems, have fewer opportunities to participate and poorer outcomes. Better outcomes may be achieved if additional and ongoing support for disabled people with higher support needs were available.
