Across the UK, fewer than 5.8% of people with a learning disability have a job, and many of those who are employed only work part-time. Yet most people indicate that they want to work. Many miss out on the basic right to aspire to a career, the wider social networks, the better emotional and physical health, and the independence that come from having a job. The Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities believes that young people with learning disabilities have the right to a working life and this must be embedded early on. Expectations that people with learning disabilities will find paid work are low due to years of under representation in the labour market. The Foundation wanted to highlight the fact that people with learning disabilities make hardworking and enthusiastic employees, bringing new skills, talents, and perspectives to their employers. In July 2011 the Foundation met with families, employers and teachers at schools in Kent, Redbridge, and West Berkshire in the UK. The 'When I Grow Up' programme was developed from these consultations. It has worked in a number of ways to raise the aspirations and employment prospects of young people with learning disabilities, through collaboration with young people, families, schools and employers. All elements of this programme have been designed to reflect changes introduced by the Children and Families Act 2014 and will therefore contribute to Preparing for Adulthood Reviews and Education and Health Care Plans. This handbook provides the training for the curriculum and workshops element of the programme.
