Workforce mobility | Government's £338m plan to get sick & disabled people into work

Thousands of people who are sick, disabled, or face complex barriers to employment are set to benefit from a major expansion of tailored support, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed.

The £338 million investment into the Connect to Work programme will deliver intensive, localised assistance to more than 85,000 people across 15 areas of England, with around 300,000 expected to be supported across England and Wales over the next five years.
