Access to Work in Context: Understanding the Bigger Picture
Access to Work is an important part of supporting disabled people at work, but it is only one piece of a much wider support system. Employers, government services, workplace adjustments and specialist support providers all play a role in helping disabled people obtain, remain in and thrive in employment.
Join disability employment specialist Alice Hastie and assistive technology expert Andy West for a practical 45-minute webinar exploring how Access to Work fits within this broader landscape and why understanding the wider system is essential to making the best use of the scheme.
During this session, Alice will cover:
• How Access to Work fits alongside employers' legal responsibilities
• The different sources of workplace support available to disabled people
• Where Access to Work begins and where its boundaries lie
• The relationship between workplace adjustments, funding and wider support services
• Common misconceptions about the role of Access to Work
• Practical examples demonstrating how support works in the real world
Andy will then explore:
• How Dolphin supports employers and employees through Access to Work
• Visual impairment assessments and specialist support
• Dolphin's CPD training and employer support services
