The Department of Education needs to rethink its current regulations around apprenticeships, says Mencap.  The UK’s main learning disability charity found that current regulation presents unnecessary barriers for people with a learning disability or learning difficulty to enter and complete apprenticeships. In 2019/20, only 12 percent of all apprentices identified as having a learning disability, learning difficulty or a health problem.  In this NHS Project Futures monthly podcast Mike Gray, Capability & Resourcing Manager at HEE, and Mark Capper, Mencap’s Head of Development discuss why neurodiverse people need better access to apprenticeships, share some of the barriers preventing this underrepresented labour market accessing apprenticeships, share practical steps employers can do to improve access, and identify some of the benefits to be gained when employing this underrepresented group
