and overcoming barriers.</p><p> </p><p>For example, within the Topic ‘Claimant Commitment’,
learning includes how we consider the impact of the claimants’ condition and their
ability to work and the need to consider what work search activities they are capable
of now and in the future, their barriers, any transferrable skills, and any support
they are receiving or require.</p><p> </p><p>Work Coaches also explore any previous
work activity and discuss any local provision that can help with these needs.</p><p>

with a disability</li><li>‘Assisted Digital’ includes learning to support people whose
circumstances make it difficult for them to use online government services, and</li><li>‘Access
to Work’ provides individual practical support and advice to help overcome barriers
