<p>The Department for Work and Pensions has conducted a series of meetings and workshops
this year with users, disabled people's organisations, employers and other experts
to ensure that Access to Work builds on its success in a way that is sustainable and
ensures that we can help as many disabled people to fulfil their potential in the
workplace as possible.</p><p> </p><p>It is right that larger employers make a contribution
to supporting their staff, but we are looking more widely at how we can better support
employers to recruit and retain disabled people. We have already made a significant
concession on cost share by exempting small employers from cost share, potentially
saving businesses with fewer than 50 staff up to £2,400 for each employee who uses
the scheme.</p>
