The Unit is working on a new project to make mainstream public services (health, housing, education and training, social security and employment services) more effective for disadvantaged adults of working age. It will focus on people with poor basic skills, people with disabilities and/or long-term health conditions, and people from certain ethnic minorities. The Unit is seeking views from services and from disadvantaged adults themselves.
