On 17 October 2022, the Government announced a £6.4 million investment to help employers support employees with disabilities and health conditions. The investment includes a new online service (currently in development) that provides information and advice about how to support and manage employees with disabilities or health conditions, whether they are in or out of work. The service is free and can be accessed by any employer, although it is aimed at smaller businesses without in-house HR support or access to occupational health services.
