Getting Help: Access to Work

Working can sometimes be difficult for people with Disabilities and often times small changes will need to be made to help make working-life manageable for these employees. These changes are called Reasonable Adjustments and employers must make these by law.

Sometimes, employees with Disabilities may require bigger changes in order to allow them to work. These can sometimes come at a large cost. A scheme called 'Access to Work', run by the Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) exists to help with making these bigger changes.
