About this event

Want to apply to Access to Work but don't know where to start?


Join our Independent Access to Work Advisor, for this one-hour event aimed at neurodivergent employees, self-employed and business owners.

This is PART 1a of our series of sessions. By the end of this first session, you will:

  1. Understand if you are eligible for the scheme
  2. Know what kind of support Access to Work offers
  3. Understand the application process - from start to finish
  4. Know the essentials you need to prepare to submit your application

Our experienced advisor will spend around 45 minutes explaining the process, with time for brief clarification questions during the presentation. Afterward, there will be a Q&A for more in-depth questions.

Please note:

While we request that participants do not record the event, some may choose to do so. Therefore, we recommend not sharing any personal or identifying information during the session.

Access to Work is an incredible UK government initiative that has helped so many disabled people thrive in their jobs.

We've seen firsthand how this support enables individuals not only to stay in work but to truly enjoy their roles.

We're extremely grateful for this scheme, and we're committed to ensuring it continues to benefit those who need it by discouraging misuse and protecting its integrity.
