abstract: 'Background: Supported Employment has been advocated for by successive
governments and policymakers alike as the best approach to employment
inclusion for people with an intellectual disability who are in receipt
of social care. Yet only 5.2\% of this demographic are in any form of
work and these numbers have been persistently stagnant for many years.
Aims: This study aimed to explore the employment landscape and grapple
with the intersecting layers of policy consequence for people who have
an intellectual disability, and are in receipt of social care, who wish
to engage with work preparation employment support.
Methods: As an active participant in the field, this study was
ethnographic and conducted at a new job club that had been established
in England. In addition, three further sites of complementary data were
explored in Wales, through interviews and focus groups.
Findings: This study demonstrates that there is a mismatch between how
evidence informs policy, and how funding is allocated to support with
work preparation. Those unable to secure Supported Employment services
are, instead, navigating extreme employment disadvantage and scant
opportunities, in the open labour market. Further, bound up in this
analysis is evidence of a non-universal understanding of waged work
where any form of financial remuneration is welcome.
Discussion and conclusion: Overall, with a mismatch between evidence
that informs policy, policy rhetoric, realistic employment prospects,
and available work, without a fundamental employment policy shift, the
very low employment rates within this demographic will not increase.'
