What’s inside

Four parts.
One practice.

Written by Lauren Amy Peacock, FIEP, for the people doing the work. Every chapter is built around what happens in the room: the question that opens a stalled conversation, the case note that protects a placement, the boundary that keeps a practitioner in the job.

  1. First contact and case formulation

    The intake conversation, reading what a client brings, and the art of a first plan that will not collapse at the first barrier.

  2. Case management that actually manages

    Progress tracking, cadence, and the five questions to ask in every review, with templates you can copy into your CRM.

  3. Co-designing quality jobs

    Working with employers so a placement is a real job, not a short-lived favour. Tools for the stakeholder conversation.

  4. Addressing barriers, building strengths

    The long tail of support after placement. Resilience, relapse, and the practitioner’s own self-care.

Who this is for

Practitioners, case managers, and the team leaders who develop them.

  • Employability practitioners
