The National Audit Office has published a report, ‘Supporting disabled people to work’ which examines the Department of Work and Pensions’ strategy and programmes which aim to help disabled people overcome barriers to work. The report highlights the progress made in improving the experience of disabled people at job centres, and that the DWP is working more closely with the Department for Health and Social Care. However, it concludes that the DWP lacked an overall strategy for helping disabled people into work. Comment on the report and its findings can be read here and here.
