Personal budgets are now being used widely as a way to provide more personalised services to disabled people. This conference examines how supported employment can be funded through the use of personal budgets. Looking at evidence-based practice and the experience of several pilot projects, the day will feature a range of presentations and discussion workshops that will describe the opportunities and challenges for commissioners, disabled people and supported employment providers.
Employment is not the responsibility of any single service, department or agency. The employment rates of people with
learning disabilities and autism will only improve if there is a shared expectation that more people can have access to work – and if adjustments are made in the way that services work together to achieve this.
