<p /> <p>Her Majesty’s Government promote equal access to intern opportunities through
a series of communications strands such as:</p><p> </p><p>· The rising awareness of
Disability Confident Britain and it’s media profile will help increase awareness of
the Access to Work (AtW) support available;</p><p>· Continually improving and developing
Advisory knowledge and skills in supporting Disabled People into work and remaining
in work, and;</p><p>· Marketing the Jobcentre Plus offer directly to employers and
other organisations and institutions.</p><p> </p><p>Moreover, Access to Work gives
practical support and help to meet additional costs to overcome barriers. AtW can
usually support people only in paid internships, however we have extended Access to
Work to cover the Supported internships scheme for young people with special educational
needs and for young people undertaking Traineeships. DWP does not have a robust means
of reporting programme volumes for internships.</p>
