Between them, these delivery partners aimed to double the number of supported internships by 2025, and to work closely with local authorities, supported internship providers, job coaches and employers, to improve the quantity and quality of supported internship provision across England. There were five key elements to the Internships Work project: (1) support to local authorities; (2) engagement and support for employers; (3) testing, developing and roll-out of a supported internships Quality Assurance Framework (SIQAF); (4) investment in training; and (5) communication and engagement activities.  \nSupport to local authorities  \nNDTi supported local authorities to establish and develop SEND Employment Forums, and administrated and monitored Section 14 grants to support them with the programme. SEND Employment Forums were intended as vehicles to create sustainable employment pathways for young people with SEND. Strategies to engage employers included: direct invitation to meetings and events, holding employer-specific forums, networking events, employer packs/materials, workplace visits and training, collaboration with partner groups, and digital engagement ([e.g. email](e.g. email) updates, social media campaigns) .  \nEngagement and support for employers  \nDFN Project SEARCH led on engaging employers and supporting them to offer high quality work placements by providing information, advice and training that enable growth in internships and job opportunities. Resources and training were offered to SEND Employment Forum members designed to strengthen employer engagement and collaboration within SEND Employment Forums. A network of Employer Ambassadors (previously referred to as Business Champions) was established to work with SEND  \n1 NDTi: a not-for-profit organisation promoting inclusion and equality for people who are at risk of exclusion from any part of society.  \n2 BASE: the membership association for organisations that provide, or have an interest in, specialist employment su","cbCaim0tkdCnatXm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim0tkdCnatXm","pdf",1108652,122,"English","# Strengthening of the supported internship programme – further details\n## Support to local authorities\n## Engagement and support for employers\n## Testing, developing and roll-out of a supported internships Quality Assurance Framework (SIQAF)\n## Investment in training\n## Communication and engagement activities\n# Evaluation methodological considerations\n## Survey administration\n## Access to participants\n## Survey timings\n## Intern survey administration\n## Response rates\n## Recruitment of case studies\n## Use of secondary data\n# Aim and survey structure\n## Aim 1 – Quantity of supported internships\n## Aim 2 – Quality of supported internships\n## Aim 3 – Outcomes of supported internships\n# Costings and data tables\n## Costings survey administration\n## Supplementary survey sample profile\n## Intern baseline and endline surveys\n## EHCP interns\n## Pilot interns\n## Intern follow-up survey\n## Employer baseline and endline surveys\n## Provider and job coach surveys\n## Survey data tables\n# Secondary data and costing feasibility\n## Secondary data methodology and summary\n## Data management and cleaning\n## Costing feasibility study approach\n## Costing survey template","[{\"question\":\"What does Annex 1 cover in the evaluation of the supported internship programme?\",\"answer\":\"Annex 1 provides supplementary methodology and data tables.
