This project paper is a sequel to An Ordinary Working Life, and provides detailed accounts of a sample of schemes demonstrating how people with mental handicap, including some with severe handicap, can be integrated into ordinary work settings. It discusses the design of different schemes, with particular reference to job-finding and the preparation and support of people with handicap at work. The sources of financial support are identified for vocational services which public and voluntary initiatives have succeeded in mobilising. The report describes the achievements of people with mental handicap and their views on the differences which opportunities to share in the world of work have made to their lives.
