Developing a Work Rehabilitation Project: ‘Equal Pathways to Work’

Abstract

Informal multiagency guidelines had been developed in Wolverhampton in an attempt to provide a pathway for clients to return to work following a period of rehabilitation. This resulted in a successful bid for European Social Funding, which enabled a dedicated occupational therapist and a project coordinator to be appointed for a 3-year period. This report discusses the process of setting up the project and evaluates the success of the project in assisting clients to return to work or retraining.
