About Us
Launched in October 2006, Cornwall Works provides a strategy and an over-arching brand for the delivery of welfare to workforce activity in Cornwall. It is there for all workless people, but prioritised towards people and groups who are disadvantaged in the labour market, in particular those on long term Incapacity Benefit, people with disabilities, people aged 50+, people living in the most deprived neighbourhoods and workless families.
Cornwall Works is not a project in its own right but brings other projects, partners and organisations together to ensure that there is appropriate support in the right place at the right time for all people to progress towards, enter and remain in work. The aim is to change the behaviours and ways that organisations work together to support mutual customers as this will outlast any particular funding stream.

Cornwall Works also provides a point of entry for any workless individual. We provides access via a single phone number and web-site for any individual who wants help. A Cornwall Works Facilitator will identify the most appropriate source of support according to the individuals needs/barriers and will facilitate the referral.
Our strategy has identified the key components that need to be in place in order to deliver a sustainable reduction in worklessness. This includes a shift in delivery towards preventing people from dropping out of work and preventing drift into long term benefit dependency at the same time as working with people who are most excluded. Previous approaches, although very successful at supporting disadvantaged people into work have not made an overall impact on numbers as when project ceases, a new group are ready to take their place.
