The latest release of these statistics can be found in the Work and Health Programme statistics collection.

The Work and Health Programme (WHP) helps disabled people, as well as the long-term unemployed and certain other priority groups (known as early access groups) to enter into and stay in work.

The WHP statistics cover 6 different measures:

  • referrals
  • individuals referred
  • starts
  • first earnings from employment
  • job outcomes
  • performance expectations

Official statistics

In Spring 2023, the Chief Statistician for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) led an internal review of all experimental official statistics produced by DWP. This is in line with the Code of Practice for Statistics. The review found that it was appropriate to remove the experimental label from this publication because it is no longer under development and it was concluded that the statistics are suitable and of public value. As of 31 August 2023, these statistics are now classed as ‘official statistics’.
