Access to Work
Access to Work is a government scheme that provides grants to cover access support cost for disabled people in the workplace. It applies to freelancers and employers. Grants through Access to Work may cover fees for support workers, specialist equipment, accessible software or travel.
A comprehensive resource about the scheme that individual artists and organisations can use has been developed by Disability Arts Online.
