Hi Derek,
This is probably not a topic for Access-UK, so techies can delete if
you're not interested.
Derek, I would be absolutely with you in doing everything I can to
support my own employment, whether it be by way of getting to work of
doing the job or whatever. What bothers me about the "voluntary
contribution" is that it further perpetuates the ethos of things having
to be done on a voluntary basis to help people with disabilities. It's
actually targeted at employers, making them feel that they have to do
something for the "poor disabled"; it's rather different with
self-employment.
There is already a means within AtW for an assessment to be made of
what contribution an employer or a self-employed person should make
towards support costs. Why should there then be the additional pull of
a voluntary contribution? There are better ways in which AtW could make
their funds go further.
Cheers,
Brendan.
