Debate

Autism Employment: Buckland Review

Contribution

My Lords, it is typical of the extent of the noble Lord’s strategic experience that he puts his finger on the question: how do we take best practice and turn it into something the entire system can learn from? We have some really good practice out there. For example, I know that autistic young people on their transition to employment can benefit specifically from supported internships, which are aimed at young people with a learning disability or autism who have an education, health and care plan. One of the things we could do is look at what works from that and how we can learn from it, and transfer it not just to other young people with autism but to a broader category of disabled young people trying to make those transitions. I thank the noble Lord for that very wise suggestion.
