Access to work

Through a system of grants, the
disability programme, Access to
Work, delivered by Jobcentre Plus,
provides advice and support to
disabled people and their employers
to help them meet their obligations
under the Disability Discrimination
Act (DDA).

The temporarily suspended cost
share for small and medium sized
employers will return on March 31st.

According to specialist keyboard
supplier Maltron this move will help
smaller employers, who may struggle
to find the resources to employ
disabled people to purchase the
necessary equipment including: anti
RSI keyboards, single-handed
keyboards, head/mouth stick/single
finger keyboards or the Maltron
Expanded keyboard, for those with
visual and muscle control problems.
