Research and Evaluation
Welcome to our Research and Evaluation page! We’re here to share important information about our past project. We’ll look at numbers and facts to see how our efforts have helped include and empower people with learning disabilities and/or autism. Experts from the National Centre for Mental Health in Cardiff University carefully studied our work, and we’ll discuss what worked well, what didn’t, and how we can make things even better in the future. Come with us on this journey as we use valuable information from the National Centre for Mental Health to understand and improve our supported employment programs.
