Welfare to Work services for disadvantaged people. Are you interested in making the 'Welfare to Work' process actually work for those who most need it? The Client Centred Solutions report looks at the common experience of three organisations working in this area and makes suggestions based on their experience and the experience of other organisations in the field about how services designed to assist people from 'Welfare to Work' should be structured. The three organisations were Intowork, the Edinburgh Homeless Project and West Lothian Earn and Learn project. The completed model is appended here. Click here

As part of the implementation of the Beattie Report, the Scottish Executive funded a series of inclusiveness projects throughout Scotland. In Edinburgh and the Lothians, 20 organisations were involved in a three year project called 15-24, an Inclusiveness Project managed by Careers Scotland. The focus of these projects was on support for vulnerable young people in transition. Stevenson Inclusiveness Project (SIP) was one of these projects and in order to meet the objective of sharing good practice, this guide has been compiled focusing on the work with students from Stevenson College Edinburgh who have Asperger Syndrome. The Stevenson project aimed to consider the needs of two specific groups of young people: those with Asperger Syndrome, and those with communication difficulties who used augmentative and alternative communication devices. The overall aims of the Stevenson Inclusiveness Project were to develop and promote effective support strategies for these young people, provide related staff training and share good practice. The project has provided the opportunity to gain expertise, to upskill
staff, to reflect on practice, and most importantly - to enhance the
college experience for the students involved. Furthermore, the formal
and informal staff development means that future students will benefit
from the increased awareness and embedding of inclusive practices throughout
the college. Click here for a pdf version of the report (439kb)
