Suffolk Learning Disability Partnership

The Suffolk Joint Learning Disability Strategy is to make sure people with learning disabilities live good lives as part of their community, with the right support, at the right time, from the right people. As part of the Suffolk Joint Learning Disability Strategy, there is a Partnership board made up of self-advocates, family carers, health and social care commissioners, police, Healthwatch Suffolk, voluntary organisations and housing providers.

A range of useful resources designed to help people with learning disabilities and/or autism to find interesting and rewarding employment in Suffolk.

Called “Work Ready”, the toolkit features video interviews with employees, as well as Easy Read documents for candidates, which include advice on filling in application forms, what to expect when starting a job and the impact which work may have on benefits.
