Access to Work

Access to Work offers help to individuals with a disability or health condition that affects the way they do their work.  Access to Work advisers can give the employee and their employer, advice and support with extra costs that may arise because of the individuals needs.

Access to Work might pay towards equipment, adapting premises or a support worker.  It can also pay towards the cost of getting to work if the individual is not able to use trains or buses.

Access to Work may be available to people who are;

• in a paid job
• unemployed and about to start work, or
• employed

and their disability or health condition stops them from being able to do parts of their job.
