Manchester 2009:
Working for Inclusion


Manchester Metropolitan University 10-11 September 2009

This year's annual conference, entitled "Working for Inclusion", focuses on supporting those most excluded from the labour market. Only 10% of people with a learning disability or long term mental health needs are in paid employment. The conference will look at policy initiatives and best practice to improve these employment rates. This includes the potential impact of individualised budgets, public service agreements and the new employment strategies for learning disability, autism and mental health.

In addition, a full programme of workshops and an exhibition area will inform and involve delegates in discussing best practice within supported employment. On behalf of Manchester and the North West, we invite you to join us for this event. More...
