<p>The latest Work and Health Programme statistics to November 2023 are published
in the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/work-and-health-programme-statistics-to-november-2023"
target="_blank">latest statistics</a> on .GOV.UK and in <a href="https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/"
target="_blank">Stat-Xplore</a>.</p><p> </p><p>There are three eligibility groups
– disability, early access and long term unemployed. Up to November 2023, 77% of starts
were from the disability group. For cohorts starting up to November 2021 (who had
been on the programme for 24 months at the time of release) 47% had achieved first
earnings and 32% achieved a job outcome. The number of job outcomes achieved in each
year can be found in the table below:</p><p> </p><p>Number of WHP job outcomes achieved
per year in the disability group</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2018-19</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2019-20</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2020-2</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2021-22</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2022-23</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Apr
2023- Nov-2023</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>TOTAL</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Disability
Group</strong></p></td><td><p>3,282</p></td><td><p>8,092</p></td><td><p>8,063</p></td><td><p>19,186</p></td><td><p>16,175</p></td><td><p>9,137</p></td><td><p>63,935</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p><strong>Note:</strong> there will also be disabled people in the early access
group and long term unemployed, but we are unable to identify those people – therefore
these numbers will be underestimates of the total numbers of disabled people who achieve
job outcomes.</p><p> </p><p>Further information about definitions are explained in
the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/work-and-health-programme-statistics-background-information-and-methodology"
target="_blank">Work and Health Programme statistics: background information and methodology</a>,
in particular:</p><p> </p><ul><li>First earnings from employment – the point at which
a participant achieves their first earnings from their first employment whilst on
the programme. A participant may not necessarily go on to achieve a job outcome. Statistics
on first earnings from employment do not include earnings from self-employment.</li></ul><p>
</p><ul><li>Job outcomes – a provider is classed as achieving a job outcome when a
participant reaches either a specified level of earnings once in employment (which
varies across the different areas – see detailed explanation of job outcome expectations
for details) or 6 months of being in self-employment.</li></ul><p> </p><p> </p><p>Universal
Support will support up to 100,000 disabled people, people with health conditions
and people with additional barriers to employment into sustained work per year, once
fully rolled out.</p>
