The proposed policy changes to Access to Work will remove vital support that disabled creatives need to do their jobs.

As part of the disabled-led arts sector, our community is fighting these proposed phases and grant cuts and advocating for an improved Access to Work system.

You can help push for change by:

– Signing and sharing this open letter: https://airtable.com/appSbdVCnzZyR…/pagSDpACTNJP2rtrX/form

– Sharing social media posts with #ProtectATW

– Responding to the current DWP consultation: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/pathways-to-work-reforming-benefits-and-support-to-get-britain-working-green-paper

– Writing to your MP – template letter here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b46V4sxPpXeIGe2OPqwq4iAs38pHpi25ot6gfq59hG8/edit?tab=t.0

Our solidarity is with all disabled artists going through renewal processes or new applications.
