IES, in partnership with Learning and Work Institute, recently launched the DWP commissioned Labour Market Evidence Programme. The programme will deliver evidence reviews and practical resources on key labour market issues to help inform local policy makers.
Local implementation and evaluation of employment support
To inform the programme’s first evidence review, we are asking for published or unpublished evaluations of work and health focused active labour market programmes (ALMPs) that have been successfully designed, implemented and evaluated at the local level. :
- What forms of structures, partnerships, and governance have been most effective in designing and delivering effective programmes and interventions?
- How have funding models (e.g. integrated settlements) shaped programme and intervention design and delivery?
- What has enabled the effective use of management information data at the local level?
- How has learning been shared across areas to support monitoring and evaluation?
- How has evaluation capacity been built and sustained?
What evidence are we looking for?
For this review, please share evidence related to the local implementation and evaluation of health and work ALMPs that:
- Were delivered at a local or regional level in England, Scotland, Wales and/or Northern Ireland between 2017 and 2025
- Have a health focus in supporting people to find, stay in, or progress in work
- Have at least an element of Government (national or local) funding
- Have been evaluated regionally or locally (rather than by central or national government)
Please submit evidence using the form below:
If you would prefer to submit evidence via email (e.g. website link), or experience any issues uploading your document, or have any questions, please contact [email protected]
