Employment opportunities
Barking and Dagenham and Wandsworth councils are currently addressing employment opportunities through strategic visions and support for adults with learning disabilities.
Barking and Dagenham's new 'It Starts Here: Partnerships for Change' vision, unveiled in March 2026, includes employment opportunities as one of its ten key missions. This overarching plan, endorsed by the Health & Wellbeing Board and ICB Sub-Committee, aims to guide the borough's future development.
Meanwhile, Wandsworth's Health and Wellbeing Board discussed initiatives in February 2026 to improve health outcomes for adults with learning disabilities, a group for whom employment opportunities are a focus. This was part of the '19 Steps to Health and Wellbeing' strategy.
