Support for adults with learning disabilities, on a pathway to paid employment.
Since December 2018, we have been working with adults with learning disabilities part funded by our local authority. With limited funding have evidenced that the people furthest away from employment, have the greatest desire to be in employment, but lack the basic skills, confidence and opportunity.
We have several NHS referrals for our skills offer for adults with learning disabilities that are not funded by local authority.These people have the desire and capability to be in paid employment.
It is recognised that nationwide only 6% of adults with learning disabilities, that have the desire and capability, are in paid work.
We have an offer for DWP and uploaded on their website through a national training provider, but our local Job Centre Plus have advised us there is no funding for it.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you would like more support to help people with learning disabilities get into paid employment, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition calling on the Government to increase funding for these types of programmes, if that's something you'd like to see happen.
