This is the second of three planned reports within a longitudinal evaluation of the Mental Health and Employment Partnership (MHEP).

MHEP is part-funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) under the Life Chances Fund (LCF). The LCF was launched in 2016 as a locally-led Social Outcomes Partnerships (SOP) fund to tackle entrenched social issues across England. The LCF contributes to SOP projects through payments by results contracts. These contracts involve social investors and are locally commissioned.

MHEP supports people experiencing poor mental health, or with learning disabilities, to enter and remain in employment. It operates five LCF-funded projects across Haringey and Barnet, Shropshire, Enfield and Tower Hamlets.

DCMS is working in partnership with the Government Outcomes Lab (GO Lab) to evaluate the LCF and the use of SOPs in local commissioning. The second interim report of the MHEP evaluation tests the assumptions set out in the projects theory of change (provided in the first report) and provides an update on project performance data.
