The Job Retention and Rehabilitation pilot is testing ways of supporting the employment of people on sick leave at risk of leaving employment. It is a joint DWP and Department of Health initiative. The pilot is being carried out in six geographical areas and commenced in April 2003. The evaluation is being carried out in collaboration with the National Centre for Social Research and consists of a large programme of quantitative and qualitative research including the first major use of random assignment techniques in the UK. SPRU's input will be mainly in the qualitative elements of the research design. The aim of the pilots is to test methods to help people who have been out of work because of sickness or disability for between six and 26 weeks to return to employment as soon as possible.
