The below Parliamentary question was asked by Baroness Thomas of Winchester on 2015-12-16.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the Access to Work scheme can fund, or help fund, the installation of a disabled toilet in a workplace.

Access to Work is able to help with adaptations to Premises and Equipment.

In all cases where adaptations to premises are required, advisers will look to see what reasonable adjustment has first been made in accordance with employers obligations under the Equality Act.

Dependent on the size of the business, an employer contribution may also be sought.
