Evaluation of Coventry & Warwickshire Substance Misuse Initiative Employment Support Project

The Employment Support Project in Warwickshire is built on a partnership between Warwickshire Probation Service (Lead Agency), South Warwickshire Combined Care NHS Trust, Orbit Housing Association and Jephson Homes Housing Association. These key agencies aim to integrate approaches to tackling drug misuse. This is particularly appropriate in Warwickshire where drug misuse constitutes a significant, yet still manageable, problem.

The following report highlights the main achievements of this unique Employment Support Project (ESP) which is designed to encourage, support and guide drug-misusers into relevant employment, training and/or personal development opportunities. It also provides an overview of success measures, added-value and sustainability issues directly linked to the immediate and future work of the project
