Essex County Council is to pilot a three year project to raise awareness of disabled rights and benefits across the county.
The Community Legal Service Partnership (CLSP) will oversee an extensive training programme to help front line staff identify people's needs and provide guidance and advice.
The programme will target youth workers and those working in social care and education welfare in the public and voluntary sectors.
A comprehensive database will be compiled mapping the need for and supply of services in Essex.
