Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps he is taking to promote the Access to Work scheme.

Access to Work is fully promoted within the Disability Confident campaign which was launched by the Prime Minister in July 2013 to help employers discover for themselves the talents and value that disabled people bring to business.

To date we have facilitated 7 regional Disability Confident events and 11 constituency based events.

We have also specifically promoted the Access to Work Mental Health Service, ensuring that the Fit For Work service will signpost to the Mental Health Service.

We are currently updating information and products relating to Access to Work available via Gov.UK.
