⸻
9. Access to Work (AtW) Funded Support
Where services are funded through the UK Government’s Access to Work scheme, the following additional terms apply:
- Access to Work–funded hours are allocated on a use-it-or-lose-it basis. If support hours are not used because the client is unable to engage and no work has been allocated, these hours cannot be carried over, shared, or reclaimed and will be considered lost.
- English Streete aims to structure support in a way that allows assistance to continue even when a client is not able to actively engage. Where possible, and with prior agreement, the Executive Personal Assistant may continue with agreed responsibilities and support activities independently, provided clear instructions or ongoing priorities have been shared in advance. This ensures support hours are still used effectively, without placing pressure on the client to be available when they are not able.
- Access to Work–funded Personal Assistance hours cannot be shared with or transferred to any individual or organisation outside of English Streete, including external personal assistants or third parties.
- Any change to the allocated Personal Assistant will be communicated with a minimum of one month’s notice, where possible.
- If allocated hours are not delivered due to unavailability of an English Streete Personal Assistant, English Streete will make reasonable efforts to make up those hours at a mutually agreed time.
