Access to Work

Access to Work is a government programme that gives you (and your employer) financial support towards the extra costs which can arise at work due to your disability or health condition.

Access to Work can give funding towards things like equipment, the cost of getting to work or towards a support worker. It can also pay towards some or all of the costs for a communicator at job interviews.
