Are you seeking Access to Work support for yourself?

Our Individual AtW Solution

Workplace assessments without the wait.

Are you responsible for organising Access to Work (AtW) support for colleague(s) within your organisation? If so, trying to keep things moving is probably occupying more time than you can spare.

It’s a shame, but the AtW scheme is in disarray and there are no shortcuts to getting a satisfactory outcome. Indeed, many people are finding the long delays are followed by far-from-satisfactory conclusions.

A Faster, Smarter Alternative for Getting Colleagues Back to Supported Work

We have a commercial alternative. We can’t offer funding but we can offer prompt responses, high quality assessments, pragmatic solutions and rapid completions with a single point of contact to ensure you always know what’s happening. There may be a cost to your organisation but improved communications, reduced stress, rapid responses and quality customer service will get your colleague(s) into productive, supported work in a fraction of the time.

At any stage in the process, why not see if we can help?

Person stuck waiting for Access to Work

Thousands are stuck waiting for Access to Work support.

Access to Work is under significant pressure. Tens of thousands of applications are in the system, with users reporting long delays and communication challenges. There’s widespread concern about cutbacks, and reports suggest more changes may be on the horizon.

Organisations such as the Access to Work Consortium, alongside many charities and advocacy groups, are working hard to push for improvements. But even with their efforts, it’s unlikely we’ll see a fast or comprehensive fix. That is of little comfort if you need workplace support now.

So, we’ve taken a pragmatic approach. We’ve developed an alternative pathway, our Accelerated Outcome Process (AOP), designed for employers and individuals who want a faster, more predictable route to the support they need.

Why take the AOP route?

A faster, more pragmatic alternative to the Access to Work scheme

Simpler, more transparent than Access to Work, with a single point of contact

For large employers, often more cost-effective than AtW, even without government subsidy

Tailored solutions for a more proportionate, cost-effective outcome 

Decades of experience in workplace ergonomics and support

Also suitable for those already using the Access to Work programme

Accelerated Outcome Process: How it works

From first call to final recommendations, AOP guides you to faster, clearer workplace outcomes.

It’s helped us take a more proactive, values-led approach to inclusion and wellbeing.”
