Description:

DFN Project SEARCH is the biggest transition to work programme for people with a learning disability and autism
in the world! Less than 6% of people with a learning disability are in paid work in the UK. Yet 70% of those on
our programme secure work, at above minimum wage.

We are evidence-based, high aiming and committed to continuous improvement. We are global leaders in
our field. Our programme is based on strong partnerships, and we provide the model, tools, training, and quality
assurance to enable great outcomes. This model has been running for 25 years and is evidently sustainable!
