Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many disabled people have secured jobs through the Access to Work scheme.

The information requested about the number of disabled people who have secured jobs through Access to Work is not available. Access to Work does not provide support to find jobs. It is a grant that provides individuals with funding for support and adaptations beyond reasonable adjustments to retain employment. To receive Access to Work support, applicants must be employed, self-employed, about to start work, participating in a supported internship/traineeship, taking part in work experience/work trial, or require communication support at interview.

Information on how many individuals receive Access to Work support is in table 6 of the Access to Work Official Statistics.
