Start of GCSE's and a new #IDP I'm genuinely pleased to see this noted as an additional learning provision with Careers Wales involved. Post 16 aspirations, including employment, should be better supported for young people with additional learning needs #ALN

Disabled people treated "as an afterthought" during the pandemic - the Disability Charities Consortium asks UK Covid-19 Inquiry to consider the impact of the pandemic on disabled people this week as Module 3 of the Inquiry gets underway.

Is "most" good enough? (answer is no). Most of the 9 services: 1. supported independence, allowed people to choose who they lived with, helped them to be active/ fulfil aspirations 2.paired people with staff they related to, to build strong relationships evidence.nihr.ac.uk/alert/what-hel…

We need better partnership working between #education and #supportedemployment so that transition is accessible, planned & well supported. For young people with #learningdisbilities and #ALN who didn't enjoy education, employment can bring new opportunities to grow and thrive.

And also that inclusive employment should be everyone's business.
