This guide is for parents of disabled children and looks at the transition of moving into paid employment. It includes information about benefits that can be paid while you are working, help with childcare costs and information about your employment rights. There are also hints and tips on where to get help with updating your CV, writing application forms, plus training and schemes to help you get back into work and volunteer work.
Volunteering as an option is discussed as it can be a great way to update skills and experience and make the transition into paid employment. This guide aims to answer concerns you may have about returning to work, and what support is available at work so you can manage working and caring for your disabled child.
