About
DFN Project SEARCH is a one-year transition to work programme for young adults with a learning disability or autism spectrum conditions, or both.
Working with Youth Futures
The Bridging the Gap initiative will challenge the misconceptions, lack of knowledge, and understanding across society about what young adults with a learning disability can achieve when supported in the right way.
DFN is seeking to:
- understand the key barriers to employment – particularly within the private sector – and what needs to change to overcome them;
- explore what inclusive recruitment looks like and what support is needed to deliver it.
DFN will develop data and insight, sharing findings with our network to improve best practice and influence policy to remove the barriers to employment for these young people.
