<p>Proofs of Concept are not designed to provide evidence of impacts on national employment
trends. Rather, they allow us to test whether a policy idea is deliverable.</p><p>
</p><p>The Local Supported Employment Proof of Concept is a relatively small scale
programme exploring how combining central and local budgets enables Local Authorities
to scale up delivery of Supported Employment. The initiative is designed to support
people with a learning disability or autism who are known to adult social care, or
who are in contact with secondary mental health services. By working with local authorities,
there may be an opportunity for DWP to drive a much stronger focus on job outcomes
and on evidence-based commissioning using the Supported Employment model.</p><p> </p><p>We
are currently considering our next steps to build on this Proof of Concept.</p>
