peer agreement (net): +2sheltered employment Explanation: You're not giving a awful lot of context so it's not clear exactly what this means. Anyway, my partner works in a support role and in the capacity of youth development worker with young people many of whom have learning difficulties. Some are able to work but would be better placed in "sheltered employment". This is a UK term by the way. See if it fits your context. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-06-06 10:00:58 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I\'ve done a Google search and it seems that Schonarbeitsplatz is used when people are either recovering from an illness or accident and where the demands are less. It\'s also used in connection with partial disability. So you might be able to use sheltered employment or sheltered workplace or something like that because the young people I mentioned above usually qualify for some disability benefit. |
