<p>Access to Work offers eligible individuals practical advice and a discretionary
grant of up to £59,200 per year to fund support above the level of an employer’s statutory
obligation to make reasonable adjustments, and this can include specialist mentoring.
DWP is working with the Supported Business Alliance (SBA) and The British Association
for Supported Employment (BASE) to develop a new long term element of Access to Work,
to support people working for a supported business, many of whom have autism spectrum
conditions.</p><p> </p><p>DWP, in partnership with Department of Health and Social
Care, has published a consultation: ‘Health is everyone’s business: proposals to reduce
ill health-related job loss’ on how employers can best support disabled people and
people with long-term health conditions, including those with autism spectrum conditions,
to stay and thrive in work.</p>
