New Deal for Disabled People Evaluation: Eligible population survey, wave three

The Eligible Population Survey is designed to obtain information about those eligible and invited to take part in the New Deal for Disabled People (NDDP). The survey aims to establish the characteristics of this population, their work aspirations and their awareness of, attitudes to and involvement with NDDP. A key feature of the study is to examine factors which affect participation and non-participation in NDDP. The survey involved three waves of interviewing, and this publication reports on the findings from the third wave and, where appropriate, across all three waves. This report also incorporates the results of a qualitative study following up a subsample of the Eligible Population Survey who did not register with a Job Broker (JB) even though they had apparently made some form of contact with one. These form a sub-group of people who can be thought of as 'knowledgeable non-registrants'.
