Employers are aware that having a disability does not mean an individual cannot carry out their job effectively. On some occasions there may be practical issues to take into consideration.
Access to Work is a Department of Work and Pensions scheme available to help overcome these issues when recruiting a new member of staff. It offers practical advice and help in a flexible manner that can be tailored to suit the needs of an individual in a particular job.
