Ready, willing and waiting: supported employment and people with learning disabilities

The 1990s have seen a rapid growth in the number of agencies offering supported employment for people with learning disabilities. Initially, many of these agencies saw their role as job coaching and support in the work place. However, with the implementation of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DFEE 1996) some large employers have started to use these agencies as consultants in setting up their own supported employment schemes within the work place. This paper explores the growth and evolution of these schemes and considers the impact of the Disability Discrimination Act.
