Working lives: the role of day centres in supporting people with learning disabilities into employment

Summarises a research project jointly commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions and the Department of Health, which explored how day centres are addressing employment, the relationships between day centres and employment related organisations, and the views and experiences of those who attend day centres and their carers. The research was undertaken to understand current provision and how employment opportunities for people with learning disabilities can be extended. The research used qualitative interviews with managers of day centres, organisations that help people into employment, people with learning disabilities in day centres and family and professional carers conducted in 9 local authorities across England.
