	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2020 answer text <p>The Access to Work Tech Fund is only available for people applying for Access to Work where assistive technology replaces existing or proposed human support.</p><p> </p><p>Since its announcement in Spring 2018, take up of Tech Fund has been low (fewer than 10 applicants). As a result, we are currently reviewing this and engaging with stakeholders to further understand the issues that they may be facing or those preventing them from benefiting from the Tech Fund. We are keen to find new ways of helping Access to Work recipients to become aware of, and benefit from, the latest assistive technology that best meets their needs, and would welcome further views on this.</p><p> </p><p>Access to Work has not undertaken any publicising of the Tech Fund specifically. Access to Work continues to undertake targeted marketing and awareness raising activities. For example, the scheme is promoted to benefit claimants through Jobcentre Plus and to a range of business leaders through the Disability Confident scheme. We have also worked with a variety of stakeholder organisations to market Access to Work to their clients, including sharing information about how individuals can apply for support.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson grouped question UIN 24287 24288 24289 question first answered 10/03/2020 10:57:51 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
