Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 20 January 2022 to Question 102728 on Access to Work Programme, if she will publish further details of the stakeholders her Department is working with to inform the development of the Adjustments Passport.

Access to Work regularly engages with almost one hundred organisations supporting disabled people through stakeholder forums nationwide such as; Mencap, Disability Rights UK, Royal National Institute of Blind People, Scope, National Autistic Society, National Deaf Children’s Society and Leonard Cheshire Disability.

To ensure the individual passports meet the needs of the user we have broadened our stakeholder network, and worked with other government departments, including the Department for Education and the Ministry of Defence, and their stakeholders, to further strengthen the development of the Adjustment Passport. All of the passports being tested in the pilots follow the same format but the tone and language used has been tailored to meet the needs of the user.

We continue to engage and welcome feedback from new stakeholders.
