Real Work Opportunities : establishing an accessible vocational rehabilitation programme within a forensic intellectual disability service - Journal of Intellectual Disabilities and Offending Behaviour 5 (4) 2014: 160-166 .

Patients treated within secure/forensic settings experience numerous barriers to meaningful vocation, including restrictions under the Mental Health Act, which limit community access. The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of Real Work Opportunities, an inclusive and accessible vocational rehabilitation programme within a forensic intellectual disability service. The programme involved setting up employment and interview workshops, interviews, and interview feedback, and job roles within the secure service, to simulate the real work process (UK).
