Social Firms UK

This work was carried out by The Institute for Applied Health and Social Policy, King's College London, and aimed to investigate financial costs and outcomes from the perspective of the public authority, taxpayer and disabled worker as well as exploring the experiences of people with a learning disability or mental health problem working within social firms and enterprises that had been created to employ and/or train people with a disability.

This document forms the summary evaluation of the project as carried out by The Institute for Applied Health and Social Policy, King's College London, and provides a guide to good practice for other public authorities considering this type of development.
