I'm having difficulty travelling to work, what help is available for me?
Employers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments. This is the way in which employers can, where possible support disabled staff to carry out their jobs. There are many different sorts of reasonable adjustments which might help you with your travel issues, such as working from home or a change in working hours.

Access to Work
