The Independent published their piece on Access to Work on the 8th May, soon after the release of the DWP publication about its new plans for AtW.
The publication and its release at the same time the new Government was elected caused widespread anxiety, creating at least two new petitions being set up. Those petitions are about AtW, asking the Government to reconsider in the current economic and employment climate.

As you know we have been campaigning on this issue since it began in November 2013. We are delighted that other people are interested in campaigning about the problems with Access to Work.  We are attempting to contact the people who have set up these new petitions to see if and how we can work together to achieve the maximum impact.

We would urge you all to share our petition again now that awareness is increasing around the issue:

Stop Changes To Access To Work are eagerly awaiting the announcement of the new Minister for Disabled People, and shadow ministers, so we can resume our essential campaign work.

Thank you.
