Evaluation of the New Deal for diasbled people: the cost and cost-benefit analyses
The New Deal for Disabled People (NDDP) is the major Government employment
programme available to people claiming incapacity benefits. As such, it plays an
important role in the Government’s welfare to work strategy. The programme is
delivered locally by Job Brokers, which are a mixture of voluntary, public and private
sector organisations. Although Job Brokers vary enormously in size and in how they
operate, most help clients with their job search, engage in job development, and
attempt to increase clients’ confidence in their ability to work. Many also attempt
to develop clients’ work-related skills and monitor clients’ progress in jobs after they
are placed, sometimes intervening when the client encounters problems on the job.
Job Brokers receive a payment from the Department for each client they register, for
each client they place in a job, and for each placed client who continues to work for
at least six months.
