Workstep Programme For Disabled People

EDM number 1733 in 2005-06, proposed by Martin Caton on 01/03/2006.

That this House welcomes the publication of the Department for Work and Pensions research report, Desirable Outcomes of Workstep, which reports the views of disabled people who have used Workstep, including positive comments on its role in developing higher self-esteem and confidence levels, facilitating greater independence and progression to open employment; notes the recommendations in the report for improving the service provided by Workstep, including introducing more flexibility in the way disabled people join the programme and better information distribution, both to disabled people and providers; and urges the Government to act on the proposals as soon as possible.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
