Who Can Help?

Community Placement Units

Community Placement Units aim to improve the lives of learning disabled people by providing them with opportunities to learn and develop skills that can possibly use in the world of work. Community Placement Units specialise in offering people work experience and recruiting staff to work in a supported environment.

Each person who uses a community placement unit gets a trained member of staff to support them and give job training.
