About Us
We are a voluntary group aimed at accelerating the rate of change in terms of supporting people with learning disabilities into meaningful, paid employment via supported internships. We have members from supported internship providers, education, local authorities, Department for Education, British Association of Supported Employment, National Development Team for Inclusion and many more. We focus on knowledge sharing, informing and influencing policy and collaborating across a range of topic areas. We have over 300 members including the majority of local authorities.
