Connect to Work Connect to Work\u00a0is\u00a0the first programme under the Government\u2019s new\u00a0Get Britain Working Strategy\u00a0to tackle economic inactivity. It will be delivered via grants across 43 clusters of Local Authorities in England, shaped around local services and priorities, to help people find and fulfil their potential to work. It will be a voluntary, high-fidelity Supported Employment programme, connecting work, health and skills support across England and Wales. This is a work programme to help disabled people, those with health conditions and people with complex barriers to employment, to find sustainable work. This approach will be based on the\u00a0Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model,\u00a0or\u00a0the\u00a0Supported Employment Quality Framework (SEQF) If you have any questions regarding Somerset Connect to Work or would like to be involved in activities to support the development of the Somerset Connect to Work delivery model, please contact\u00a0Connect2Work@Somerset.gov.uk Presentations.
