The Government Equalities Office has published details of its qualitative research among employers that had recently run specialist programmes designed to bring returners back into work. Returners are people who have taken an extended break from paid work for caring or other reasons. The research looks at the objectives for returner programmes, the form they take, how success is evaluated and how successful programmes have been. The research provides employers with evidence which can inform their own returner programme and is designed to be read alongside the GEO’s ‘Returner programmes: best practice guide for employers’.
