YPs with Additional Needs
Work Experience is especially important for those young people who, for whatever reason, are identified as requiring additional support in order to help them undertake tasks which may usually be seen as everyday or routine. The term ‘additional needs’ covers a range of difficulties, which may be learning, emotional, physical or sensory. Your organisation may already employ people with such disabilities who carry out their work competently. It is important that similar young people are given the chance to try out the adult world in a safe environment.
If you offer a placement to a young person with additional needs, your local Placement Officer and the school will work closely with you to consider the additional support required.
We always try to provide information in a way that is easy to understand by everyone. This can mean supplying it in alternative formats, on request, such as in Braille, large print, audio CD or in a different language. Please contact us if you would like more details about this service.
