The latest KBW update proposes a more connected approach to workplace health.
health + work + function + workplace + individual goals
Voc rehab already sits at that intersection.
What needs to be protected as the system evolves?

"The main challenge for disabled people is how to obtain accessible employment in the first place. This is the key area where government and employers need to step up."

Our CEO, @carolinejc.bsky.social, said to @johnpring.bsky.social on Gov's #KeepBritainWorking programme.

Disabled people’s organisations have been kept “firmly on the outside” of a key government programme to improve workplace health, raising fresh questions about ministers’ commitment to co-producing disability-related policy.

Yesterday's Autumn Budget set out the Labour Government’s priorities that will shape communities, services, and local growth ahead.

We hope the focus remains on community-driven growth and pulling working people out of poverty.

Top News on #BBCRadio4 this morning

1 in 5 adults are now Not Working

A massive increase since 2019 🤔

Costing the economy over £200billion a year 🤔

Some mention of 'since Covid' and talk of being holistic, but totally missing a trick!

1️⃣1️⃣ 💬 The UK needs honest policymaking not PR.

We can’t “keep Britain working” while erasing the pandemic’s impact.

We need clean air, infection prevention, and recognition for those disabled by Long Covid.

Otherwise, you’re just keeping people sick.

2️⃣ The report says:

> “There are 800,000 more people out of work due to ill health than before 2019.”

Yet it never asks what happened in 2019–2020 to cause that shift.

You can’t fix a workforce crisis while pretending the pandemic didn’t happen.

Charlie Mayfield, #KeepBritainWorking review boss, was invited by Today Radio 4 to talk about #Welfare cuts. Focus was on employer support for workers with mental health conditions. Well needed indeed but if you get ill, you go on occupational ir statutory sick pay not disability benefit #LCWRA

📜The Employment Rights Bill returns to the Lords today.

📢We’re urging peers to stand firm on their amendments.

❌Without these changes, the Bill could reduce flexible, local job opportunities across the UK.
