Help to complain - support with your AtW application, review or complaint

Updated 12th January 2015

ADWUK is a charity focusing on employment for disabled people.  They have a national Advice Service on Disability and Work, which provides a professional advice service for disabled people (and employers) to get information and support on all work-related issues, including specialist advice on applying for and managing Access to Work (AtW) funded support.

They say they can help you with:

  *   Applying for AtW for the first time
  *   AtW reviews
  *   Asking AtW to reconsider decisions
  *   Through all stages of the complaints process
  *   And can negotiate support with your employer.

The service is free, and can start supporting you straight away if you need urgent help.

You can email them at [email protected].  Let them know you are Deaf, and if you prefer to use BSL.

If you ask them for help, let me know if it helps, so I know if I should recommend it to other Deaf people.

Click here for the ADWUK page on AtW.

If you know of any other support for Deaf and disabled people in applying for or complain about AtW, please let me know.
