How many people with learning disability have paid jobs? (NI146)

One of the Government's National Indicators (NI 146) asks what proportion of people with learning disabilities had paid work when they last had a review with their social worker.

You can see the maps here.

For each local authority, the indicator shows the number per thousand, of people with learning disability, who have

  • any paid job,
  • any voluntary job, or
  • any paid or voluntary job.

Unfortunately there is no count of people who do not have either a paid or voluntary job, so it is impossible to tell how many people the local authorities don't know about.
