Background
North Central London (NCL) Integrated Care System (ICS) has the highest prevalence of serious mental illness (SMI) compared to ICSs across London and England. Diagnosed SMI prevalence is particularly high in Camden and Islington. SMI prevalence has been increasing in recent years, and if the current trajectory continues, we expect to have just over 4,000 individuals with diagnosed SMI in Islington by 2030, an increase of over 100 individuals.
The NHS Long-Term Plan recognises that employment is a major factor in maintaining good mental health and is an important outcome of recovery for people who experience mental health problems. It stipulates the expansion of Individual Placement and Support (IPS) with the ambition to support an additional 35,000 people nationally with serious mental illnesses (SMI) by 2023/24, with a total of 55,000 people per year having access to IPS services. NHS England has provided significant additional investment to support implementation of the Long-Term Plan in meeting stretched IPS access targets by 2023/24 and beyond, across the five NCL boroughs.
Islington Council’s vision is that by 2030 there is a sustainable, inclusive, and locally rooted economy in the borough. The council’s commitment to promoting economic wellbeing for residents includes:
1. Empowering residents, particularly those who face the most disadvantage, to secure and retain good quality jobs that are well paid.
2. Providing targeted employment support through the Islington Working Partnership.
3. Actively promoting opportunities, such as volunteering, as a means of building skills and confidence for work.
An in-depth review of Islington mental health employment support provision was completed in March 2023. The review highlighted a number of opportunities to further develop and improve the employment support offer for residents who experience mental health problems, through redesign, collaboration and integration. Following this review, the council is now looking to commission a new contract for a mental health employment support service.
