Connect to Work will be delivered using two of the most recognised quality standards for supported employment: IPS and SEQF.

Both models have Fidelity Scales.
The Fidelity Assurance Supplier will be required to deliver the Fidelity Assurance services across England and Wales.
DWP will fund delivery of the Fidelity Assurance requirement for IPS and SEQF through one contract.
