For people with disabilities, the UK Government’s Access To Work scheme is a vital support for getting into, and staying in, work.

Unfortunately ATW has been buckling under the strain of increased applications, not enough staff, poor working practices and not enough funding.

RNIB Connect Radio’s Allan Russell spoke to Roisin Jacklyn, from RNIB, to hear about work being done to improve the vital employment lifeline.

If your blind or partially sighted and  having problems with Access To Work, call 0303 123 9999 for RNIB’s Helpline.
