Access to Work provides financial support to ensure someone’s disability or health condition does not hold them back at work and can cover assistive technology, workplace adaptations, transport, and interpreters.
Previously, medium and large employers were required to pay a mandatory contribution towards the cost of assistive technology required by disabled employees.
As part of the government’s drive to ensure disabled people can benefit from the latest advances in technology, this cost will now be waived for all employers under the new Tech Fund.
