From: Access to Work Live Running Policy Team
Subject: Revisions to the Access to Work Holistic Assessments Provider Guidance.
Action: For information and Action
Timing: Immediate
Background
We have made substantial revisions to the Access to Work Holistic Assessments Provider Guidance.
These revisions are a result of the work undertaken jointly with providers over the last few months to improve the Provider Guidance and include suggestions made during late 2025 Provider Forums that have been agreed by all stakeholders.
We have also altered the format of the guidance to make it more accessible and easier to navigate. Instead of being published in individual Chapters, we have brigaded all the chapters into one document, so it is easier to search for relevant information.
Summary and action
You and your supply chain partners must familiarise yourself with these amendments to the Provider Guidance as soon as possible.
Further Information
All enquiries on this memo should be raised with your Performance Manager in the first instance. They will endeavour to provide you with an answer as soon as possible.
