Just a thought, but could the ECU respond on this, as it would have an impact on the whole sector? Richard Brown Equality and Diversity Manager Staff and Students Human Resources and Student Support Directorate Keele University (01782) 584403 _____ From: HE Administrators equal opportunities list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Kathy Aveyard Sent: 27 February 2008 17:10 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Changes to Access to Work Funding Dear Colleagues, I thought you might be interested in a Department for Work and Pensions current consultation document that includes a proposal to withdraw Access to Work Funding from Public sector bodies - see the link below. http://www.dwp.gov.uk/publications/dwp/2007/des-consultation/full-consultati on.pdf The relevant section is Chapter 5 from page 57 onwards and, in particular, paragraphs 23 - 25. The consultation questions are on page 64. Here at Leeds there are some individuals who are planning to respond in their own right and we are looking into the practicality of a University response. We thought you might want to consider a response from your own HEIs, in which case the deadline for responses is 10th March.
