In February, the National Audit Office (NAO) published a report on the Access to Work Scheme, run by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP)
The investigation was to provide transparency over the DWP’s operation of Access to Work (ATW)  and inform public debate about the future of the scheme.
The report covers:
- The purpose of the Access to Work scheme
- The take-up of the scheme
- How the DWP is managing the increased take-up of the scheme
The findings of the report highlight some of our concerns about how the DWP is operating the ATW scheme and how it needs urgent investment and reform. The findings will feed into Graeae’s submission to the Public Accounts Inquiry about our hopes for the future of the scheme.
