Details
This call for proposals would ideally like to see providers offer a range of specialist support to help address these needs. Projects must deliver activity which directly contributes to the objectives of Priority Axis 1, Investment priority 1.4.
The priorities and activities to be addressed through this direct call are as follows:
- Creation of integrated packages of support that address gaps in provision to disadvantaged groups and reach those who are not currently receiving support.
- Tackling inactivity by helping disadvantaged groups overcome various barriers (for example: substance misuse, mental health factors, domestic abuse, language barriers, carer responsibilities, general health and disability), and improve their employability and move towards employment.
- Support activities focusing on workless households.
- Provision of support to households who face eviction from their property.
- Additional intensive flexible support to help Universal Credit claimants progress into the labour market.
- Support for economically inactive women from ethnic minorities, including those with child or elder care responsibilities, and who often face multiple disadvantages.
- Work with employers to help integrate people with disabilities and ethnic minorities, and other disadvantaged groups, into the workplace.
- Tackle specific barriers faced by refugees and migrants and to integrate them into the labour market.
- Support the development and growth of social enterprises.
Applicants are encouraged to design collaborative projects clearly focused upon individual beneficiary and local labour market need, the specific objectives of the relevant part of the ESF programme, and the required project outputs and results.
ESF Direct Bidding allows for innovative interventions based upon detailed knowledge and understanding of local circumstances. There is flexibility to adapt and build upon local approaches and involve a range of relevant agencies.
