Disability and health
Employment support for people with a disability or health issue.
West London Alliance - Work and Health Programme (WHP)
The WHP is free and provides one-to-one employment support for up to 15 months to people who:
- have health conditions or disabilities
- have been unemployed for more than 2 years
- would benefit from early help to find employment because they may be at disadvantage in the labour market.
Some groups can get early access including:
- a person affected by the Benefit Cap
- member of a family where a child is at risk of becoming Looked After
- homeless people or those at risk of homelessness
- working age adults with a mental health condition known to secondary services
- working age adults with disabilities known to Social Services.
For more information, email Freya Valentine (WHP Integration Officer) at freya.valentine@shaw-trust.org.uk.
