The government wants to make sure that people with disabilities who want and are able to work are supported and enabled to do so.
To do this, the government wants to get your views on how to improve how the ‘Reasonable Accommodation Fund’ grants operate – you have to send them your views by the extended deadline of 5pm Friday 13th May 2022.
Reasonable accommodations promote equality by removing barriers in the workplace. This enables people with disabilities to participate and achieve their full potential at work.
Under the Employment Equality Acts 1998-2015, employers must provide reasonable accommodations to both:
- employment candidates with disabilities
- employees with disabilities
