We are proud to announce that RCS has become the first organisation in Wales to successfully achieve IPS (Individual Placement and Support) fidelity in a formal review carried out by Centre for Mental Health, in partnership with IPS Grow.
IPS is recognised internationally as one of the most effective models for supporting people with mental health needs into employment. Achieving ‘fidelity’ confirms that an IPS service is delivering high-quality support, helping people into good jobs that match their strengths and goals.
Since 2023, WorkWell Conwy has supported 174 people, with 90% reporting improved employability skills and almost half securing paid employment or volunteering roles. The review covered key areas of the service including staffing, integration with health services and employer links.
Ali Thomas, Chief Executive at RCS, said:
“Achieving IPS fidelity signals trust, effectiveness, and impact for clients and employers, showcasing the quality of our services,.
Good IPS fidelity leads to better outcomes for the people we support, and we’ve seen incredible results through taking a highly flexible, person-centred approach.”
This landmark achievement is testimony to the dedication of our team and our commitment to helping people build brighter futures through work.
