The Council enters into a Facility Agreement with Sheffield City Council (SCC) to claim a maximum of £20,000 from the Local Integration Board Support Budget for the purposes of removing barriers or perceived barriers experienced by participants in the Sheffield City Region Health Led Employment Trial.

This grant will support the work of the LIB in addressing these barriers and adapting and responding to participant's needs, working across the entire Local Authority area and with appropriate stakeholders, in particular the private sector to open new employment opportunities.

Option 1 - Preferred - Accept the Integration Fund monies and work in partnership with the LIB stakeholders to ensure the LIB can respond to the needs of the Health Led Employment Trial as it mobilises across the Local Authority area.

Option 2 - Do not accept the LIB Support Budget grant award, however this will severely restrict the ability of the project partners to engage and support employers to consider extending their employment options to the benefit of people with barriers to work and continuing in work.
