Caritas Social Action Network has submitted a response to the Department of Work and Pensions consultation on the ‘Work, health and disability: improving lives’ Green Paper.

Using evidence from the Cardinal Hume Centre, Nugent, Caritas Anchor House and Caritas Westminster’s St Joseph’s Pastoral Centre, the response outlined best practice in disability employment, suggested measures for both recruiting and retaining staff with disabilities or long-term health conditions and assisting them in finding work with JobCentre Plus work coach support.
