ACCESS TO WORK
Access to Work Support Guides
This collection supports people who need practical help after, before or alongside an Access to Work application. Access to Work can provide up to £69,260 per year, depending on circumstances and support needs.
Start with the funding answer if you want to know how much you can get, then use the main Access to Work guide and Calculator for wider context. These pages help connect funding decisions to workplace needs assessments, assistive technology training, neurodiversity coaching and adjustment records.

How to use this hub
Connect Access to Work recommendations to practical support
The How Much Access to Work Can I Get? guide gives the headline funding answer. The main Access to Work guide explains the wider funding route and includes the Calculator. These support guides focus on what happens around it: coaching, assistive technology training, workplace assessments and implementation.
Employers still need to consider reasonable adjustments. Access to Work may help fund practical support, but it does not replace employer responsibility.
- Read the funding amount guide first if you want the direct answer on how much you can get.
- Read the main Access to Work guide if you are new to the scheme or want to use the Calculator.
- Use the subpages to understand practical support routes.
- Keep recommendations linked to the person’s role and manager actions.
- Review whether support has been implemented and is working.
