Setting the Standard for Integrated Vocational Rehabilitation

Vocational rehabilitation is evolving fast, and this positioning document sets out the VRA’s clearest, most comprehensive statement yet on what high‑quality, integrated VR looks like in practice. Drawing on a biopsychosocial understanding of work and health, it defines the spirit, standards and tiered pathways that help people stay in, return to, or move towards meaningful work. From early, light‑touch support to specialist, multi‑layered intervention, it highlights the roles of practitioners, employers and case managers in creating sustainable, person‑centred return‑to‑work outcomes. This document is designed to bring clarity, consistency and confidence to everyone involved in delivering or commissioning vocational rehabilitation.
