During this financial year, our company has made significant strides in fostering inclusive employment opportunities for individuals with learning disabilities and autism. We have established robust part-nerships with training providers such as Lighthouse Futures Trust, NHS Choices College, and Entrust Care Partnership, which are crucial in supporting individuals on their journeys into paid employment. Our ongoing development of assistive technology has been central to our mission of removing barri-ers in the workplace. This technology is designed to support people with learning disabilities and au-tism, enabling them to perform tasks independently and to a high standard. We have collaborated with a variety of end users, including supported interns, employees, their mentors, and job coaches, to train and develop the necessary skills to effectively utilize this technology. Our efforts have been di-rected towards maximizing its impact and ensuring that users are well-equipped to integrate into their work environments confidently. We have also worked with numerous businesses, such as Heineken Island, Sodexo, and the Compass Group, to raise awareness about the benefits of assistive technology. By demonstrating how this tech-nology can enable individuals to perform their roles independently, we aim to foster a more inclusive workplace culture. This collaboration has helped to improve the disability employment ecosystem, raising confidence among employers and employees alike. Our support extends beyond new users to include individuals previously in employment who continue to use our assistive technology. By maintaining these relationships, we ensure ongoing support and adaptation to their evolving needs. Looking forward, we plan to continue our partnership model, working closely with end businesses to promote cultural adoption of assistive technology. This will help to provide broader employment op-portunities and support internships for people with learning disabilities and autism. Additionally, we are exploring international collaborations, such as our work with Steps in Thailand, to understand how our technology can support individuals in different countries and contexts. Our goal is to expand our impact across various business environments, sectors, and geographic re-gions. We also intend to explore how our technology might benefit other groups facing barriers to employment, ensuring a wider reach and greater inclusivity in the workforce.
Our stakeholders encompass a diverse range of individuals and groups integral to the success and im-pact of our initiatives. These include adults with learning disabilities and autism who are the primary users of our assistive technology, as well as their family members or carers who provide essential support. Additionally, our stakeholders involve training providers and job coaches who aid in skill de-velopment, colleagues and mentors within the end businesses, and the businesses themselves that in-tegrate our technology into their workplaces. We engage in constant communication with our users and job coaches to gather feedback on the adoption and usage of our assistive technology. This feedback covers various aspects, including the ease of use, personalization, and configuration of the technology's different elements and workflows. As a result of this consultation, we have made significant improvements to the technology, particular-ly in terms of access and configuration. One notable development is the introduction of an app that allows different users to access specific parts of the platform tailored to their roles and needs. This feature has enhanced the flexibility and usability of our technology, making it more effective and user-friendly. Furthermore, we have actively listened to feedback from end businesses regarding how our technolo-gy benefits their workplaces. This feedback has been crucial in understanding the broader impact of our initiatives and ensuring that our technology aligns with the needs of diverse business environ-ments. Overall, the consultation with our stakeholders has been instrumental in driving the continuous im-provement of our assistive technology, ultimately enhancing its effectiveness and supporting the em-ployment journeys of individuals with learning disabilities and autism. We remain committed to ongo-ing dialogue with all stakeholders to ensure that our solutions continue to meet their needs and foster a more inclusive employment landscape.
