The Government view on supported employment (a personalised approach to working with people with significant disabilities, including people with learning disabilities and autism, to access and retain open employment) was outlined in Valuing Employment Now (2009). This included a commitment to publish standards for job coaching to drive improvements in supported employment provision. Stating that agreement on a definition of supported employment is the starting point in the development of standards for job coaching, this document outlines the Government's draft definition of supported employment. It covers what supported employment is and its guiding principles, the supported employment model and key stages for employer and employee, job matching, arranging the right support, career development, employability skills, and who provides supported employment. It also sets out planned next steps for the Government: making the draft standards accessible; seeking views from stakeholders including disabled people, family carers, providers of supported employment and employers to agree the definition and the terminology to be used to describe both supported employment and job coaches; development of national standards.
