Access to Work (ATW) is often tipped as the UK's best-untapped funding resource for making work possible. The Department of Working Pensions commissions the service, and you do not require a diagnosis for support!
Applying for a grant can be done online here - https://www.gov.uk/access-to-work
If you are eligible for an ATW grant, it may include the following:
specialist equipment/support software
adaptions to your car or place of work
Work coaching
Transport to work
Recommend 'reasonable' adjustments - more info here
+ so much more!
A recent ONS parliamentary briefing revealed that 82.7% of working-age adults are employed in the UK. This drops to just 53.7% of disabled people[1]. Most alarmingly, research from @Autistica shows UK autistic employment is hardest hit and currently stands at just 21.7% of UK autistic adults in employment [2]. With this in mind, it is so very important that we reach out and get support if we feel we need it 🙂
