Question:
Do you know any good websites or back to work schemes for mentally ill people who want to return to work?
in the uk?
Personally I think the government should give the employer of a person long term mentally ill and on incapacity benefit, half of the money they would have given the employee if they were not working for about six months in order to incentivise the employers, and make it easier for the mentally ill to return to work. Otherwise the long term mentally ill have hardly any chance of getting a job with so much discrimination about.
The employer wins out by getting the money. The employee wins out by been given a more level playing field and a chance to prove himself and bypass discrimination. The government wins out because they only pay half and after six months they stop paying it and get someone of incapacity benefit.
Rant over.
Has anyone got an answer to my original question

~You have good suggestions, unfortunately, I don't think you're giving them to the right people.
I don't know about the UK, but in the states, we have thrift stores called "Goodwill" and they hire disabled/handicapped people.
Good luck.~
