Vocational Rehabilitation

The College of Occupational Therapists believes that everyone in the UK has the right to information, help and support to be able to work, whether this is paid employment, voluntary work or work to care for family or home

Occupation is core to the practice of occupational therapy. Occupational therapists are experts who work with both employers and employees to help people who have disabilities or ill health remain in, return to or move into meaningful activity, work or paid employment.
