This guide explains what supported internships are and why they have been introduced. It also provides practical advice on developing, implementing and delivering supported internships, including information on funding, programme design, staffing, and the various partnerships on which supported internships are founded. The advice draws heavily on the experiences of the 15 colleges who took part in the 2012/13 supported internship trial set up by the Department for Education. It also draws on the experiences of other providers who have been running programmes to support young people with learning difficulties and/or disabilities into employment. The advice has been designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to supported internships and to allow users to dip into individual sections of particular interest. It is divided into broad sections which include: planning and designing supported internships; job coaching; recruiting and engaging interns; working with parents and carers; working with employers; achieving positive progression; and funding.

Information for apprenticeship providers about reasonable adjustments for apprentices with learning difficulties and disabilities. Under section 20 of the Equality Act 2010, education and training providers and other related service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people (which includes people with a learning difficulty) so they are not placed at a substantial disadvantage compared to non-disabled students. Learning support funding is available for apprenticeship providers to make reasonable adjustments to support apprentices who have learning difficulties or disabilities. This guidance outlines: how providers should assess and identify the needs of their apprentices; how to make a claim in line with the apprenticeship funding rules. (Edited publisher abstract)
