<p>We are taking steps to support disabled people and people with health conditions,
including those with epilepsy, to enter employment through initiatives like the Work
and Health Programme, Personal Support Package and the recently-announced Intensive
Personalised Employment Support Programme (IPES), which will see more than £40m invested
in a new highly personalised package of support to disabled people who are at least
a year away from moving into work. We also offer extensive, personalised support to
new and existing disabled workers through Access to Work.</p><p> </p><p>In addition,
we engage with employers through Disability Confident. The scheme, developed by disabled
people, employers and disability organisations, encourages employers to think differently
about disability and to take action to improve how they attract, recruit and retain
disabled employees. Over 10,500 businesses have signed up to the Disability Confident
scheme since it was launched in November 2016.</p>
