Access To Work (ATW)

3SC were invited to become a partner for RBLI delivering Access to Work across Wales. We contract with five delivery organisations, including a national charity and a university, as well as specialist assessment centres and smaller providers.

3SC will deliver holistic, comprehensive, detailed and high-quality assessments for customers who are supported by the Access to Work Programme.

Where appropriate, RBLI will undertake a pre-assessment review or ‘Triage’ assessment interview with customers to establish exactly who would be best placed to deliver the specific support needed.

3SC will undertake a full and holistic review of the customer's work-related needs, as a result of their health condition or disability, questioning all aspects of their working environment and well-being.

A very clear and concise report will then be provided that describes:

• Ways in which the identified customer needs can be best supported
• Showing how first help, advice and guidance during the assessment has been applied
• What comprehensive recommendations will allow each customer to work openly and competitively in the workplace
• Detailing suppliers of high quality cost-effective solutions.

A standard assessment format will ensure all Assessors, regardless of their specialty, provide the same essential information for the Access to Work adviser, customer and employer.

The emphasis on the assessment is to provide high-quality reporting as well as finding unique, innovative and cost-effective ways of supporting customers.
