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.
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.
