Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether an Access to Work scheme has been implemented in their Department.

Access to Work is a demand-led, personalised discretionary grant which contributes to the disability-related extra costs of working faced by disabled people and those with a health condition in the workplace that are beyond standard reasonable adjustments. It does not replace an employer’s duty under the Equality Act to make reasonable adjustments.

The Department for Business and Trade has assumed responsibility for providing such adjustments for their staff.
