In the workplace with SEND

We follow Charlie, a young person in the workplace with SEND, as he navigates a typical working day at the lovely Marwell Zoo.

Getting a job as a young person with SEND, might seem quite daunting. But there can be lots of extra assistance and inclusion in many workplaces…

So we followed Charlie, one of our young people with SEND, for a full day at his work, the exciting Marwell Zoo.

We see how Charlie prepares at home, watch his interactions & work at the Zoo, and we speak to his colleagues about inclusion in the workforce for those with SEND.

We hope this film has helped you see a little more about the support available in the workplace for those with SEND. 

There are Access to Work schemes to help you travel to and from the workplace. Your employer can support you with your needs, if you let them know what can help you. And it’s a great way to earn your own money.

We’d really like to thank the lovely team at Marwell Zoo for allowing us to come and film Charlie, and for their support in helping make the workplace an inclusive space for all.

You can visit Marwell Zoo and find out more about what they do here – www.marwell.org.uk
