Experiences of the Job Retention and Rehabilitation Pilot

This report presents findings from qualitative research with participants in the Job Retention and Rehabilitation Pilot (JRRP) and staff of organisations providing job retention and rehabilitation services. The JRRP was developed by the Department for Work and Pensions to test interventions which might decrease the length of time people spend away from work through sickness and increase job retention for people with a health condition or impairment. The pilot ran as a randomised controlled trial for a period of two years from April 2003 in six areas of the UK.
