Funding from the DWP for our support
At Neuro-Sparkle, we understand that getting the support you need as a neurodiverse individual in the workplace can be a challenge. However, there are programs available to help you overcome these obstacles, such as the Access to Work scheme offered by the UK Department of Work and Pensions. This scheme provides funding to help pay for the costs of accommodations and support services needed for people with disabilities or health conditions to succeed in the workplace.
What is the Access to Work Scheme?
The Access to Work Scheme is a UK government initiative that provides financial support to individuals who need extra assistance in the workplace due to a disability or health condition. The program offers funding for a wide range of accommodations, including special equipment, travel expenses, and support services like coaching, mentoring, and training.
Who is Eligible for the Access to Work Scheme?
The Access to Work Scheme is available to anyone who has a disability or long-term health condition that affects their ability to work. This includes people with physical, sensory, and learning disabilities, as well as mental health conditions. To be eligible for the scheme, you must be over 16 years old, live and work in England, Scotland, or Wales, and be in paid employment or about to start a job.
How does the Access to Work Scheme Work?
To apply for the Access to Work Scheme, you need to contact a dedicated advisor who will work with you to identify the support and accommodations you need to succeed in the workplace. Once your needs are assessed, your advisor will help you fill out an application for funding.
The amount of funding you receive will depend on your individual needs and circumstances. The scheme provides financial support for up to 100% of the cost of eligible accommodations and services, up to a maximum of £62,900 per year.
