The aim of the government's Access to Work scheme is to provide support for disabled people to get into and stay within employment. It can provide support with things like specialist equipment, support workers and transport to and from work. But over the past few months, there have been rumours circulating that there are proposed cuts to parts of the scheme which is causing uncertainty amongst disabled people. In Touch attempts to dig a little deeper into what could be happening to the scheme.

The Work and Pensions committee is calling for disabled people's experiences of seeking employment and support into work. If you would like to submit your experiences, you can do so via the committee's online form: https://committees.parliament.uk/work/9270/employment-support-for-disabled-people/ or call 020 7219 8976.
