Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the timescale is for the Access to Work Adjustment Passports pilot; and whether he plans to publish findings from the pilot.

To support transitions into and between employment, we are delivering a series of Adjustment Passport pilots. The Adjustment Passport has been developed with stakeholders and works to empower the user by providing a living document of the individual’s adjustments and in-work support needs, support conversations with potential employers, raise awareness of Access to Work and reduce the need for reassessments.

The Adjustment Passport for graduates leaving university was delivered in three universities during 2022 - Wolverhampton University, Manchester Metropolitan University and Kings College London. The universities evaluated the pilot and published their findings in Autumn 2022.

An Adjustment Passport for young disabled people participating in a vocational programme (e.g. Supported Internships, Traineeships and Apprenticeships) commenced in January 2023 and will last for a period of 12 months with evaluation expected to be available once the test has completed.

In addition, the DWP are working with the Ministry of Defence to test an Adjustment Passport for Armed Forces Personnel, which is due to commence during 2023. Details surrounding the test are still being developed with the Ministry of Defence.
