    Hello @Ho11ijam and welcome to the community.

    In the first place I would suggest checking out Scope's Support to Work help. You can find out more at https://www.scope.org.uk/support/services/employment/support-work

    This will help your daughter to get the basics in starting to look for work.

    Does she know what type of work she would like to do?

    Hi @Ho11ijam
    Welcome to the community, I have moved your post over to the employment advisor category where I hope you can get some support and information from the employment team.
