<p>The DWP has worked with stakeholders to develop a series of Adjustments Passports
to support disabled people, and those with a health condition, with the transitions
into employment and between jobs. The Adjustments Passport provides the individual
with a living document of their adjustments and working requirements, it empowers
the holder to have more structured conversations about their disability with their
employer, raises awareness of Access to Work, and where an application is made it
helps to reduce the need for an assessment.</p><p> </p><p>Since May 2022, a new Health
Adjustments Passport has been rolled out in Jobcentres to support disabled jobseekers
to have more structured conversations about their disability and in-work support needs
with their Work Coach.</p><p> </p><p>In July 2023, the Service Leavers Adjustments
Passport was launched to support those leaving the services with an injury, disability,
or health condition, with the transition into civilian employment.</p><p> </p><p>Following
a successful trial in 3 universities, the Universities Adjustments Passport will be
rolled out from September 2023 to support graduates with the transition into employment
by signposting to Access to Work, enabling students to make informed career choices
and achieve their aspirations.</p><p> </p><p>We continue to develop the concept of
the passport and this year we are piloting an Adjustments Passport for young disabled
people on vocational programmes and developing a British Sign Language Adjustments
Passport.</p>
