Individuals with Autistic Spectrum Conditions may request that specific referral opportunities are used for their referral to the Work and Health Programme (WHP), to allow providers to recognise their support requirements, which also record any employment outcome. WHP providers are required to record in any participants Action Plan any complex needs/ additional support requirements they have been notified of, or identify themselves as part of their support. Providers have an opportunity to track employment outcomes for this customer group.
