Description

Liverpool City Region has some of the highest rates of economic inactivity due to poor health which has major economic costs. Labour market interventions that help people – particularly those with health issues – to enter or remain in good quality jobs are central to delivering economic prosperity and can enhance people’s health. Too often these initiatives are delivered in isolation, across different administrative tiers, complex systems and different geographies which can limit our understanding of how specific interventions affect health outcomes. Moreover, the knowledge base regarding which services ‘meet people’s health and economic needs together’ is sparse which hinders programme accountability, has implications for the efficient use of resources and impacts on learning across networks. Purpose One of five Health Foundation funded projects across the UK, this collaborative project will enable health and wellbeing to be incorporated across Liverpool City Region’s economic strategies, developing a unique integrated approach to labour market programmes by bringing together health services and a wider social offer (welfare, housing, debt) with employment programmes, informed by the lived experience of residents at a city-regional scale.
