Access Support
Graeae offers all staff members an access audit; a review of support needs to ensure all employees have the tools to work as equals. We then support in an application to “Access to Work”, if needed, and have put funds aside to cover any costs not covered by the scheme. We will assist with booking interpreters, access workers or other personnel as required. Applicants will be responsible for their own personal care and home support needs. We are happy to discuss with you in advance of making an application if you are unsure.
Any additional access support required to make the application will be covered if agreed in advance. This includes BSL interpreters, scribes, access workers and assistance with formatting. Please e-mail vicky@graeae.org if we can help with this.
