Please supply:
The current policy relating to provision of support workers through Access to Work.

Current DWP guidance for decision makers responsible for administering Access to Work.

Please supply internal guidelines rather than what is publicly available on the Government’s website.

For clarity, you have supplied these internal guidelines previously in 2014 under this link: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/2....

I am requesting the most up-to-date version of internal guidelines (including, but not limited to the above) at the time you receive my request.

Please supply this information for England, Scotland and Wales.

Yours Faithfully,
Paul Bohill
