About Reinforce Potential
We’re Reinforce Potential CIC. We help people who have, or think they may have, ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia or dyspraxia, as well as people with other neurodivergent experiences, find practical support at work. We also connect skilled support workers and assistants with flexible work. You don’t need a diagnosis to contact us. We help with Access to Work applications and renewals, support for employees and a separate business administration service.
The purpose behind the support
Our constitution sets out a community purpose: helping disabled professionals find support workers and funding, and helping skilled people outside the traditional job market access flexible work providing that support.
It directs surplus towards those primary objectives. That connects the help people receive at work with opportunities for the people providing it.
What our support looks like in practice
Ways we can help
- Practical support for your own working day
- Finding a provider for an existing award
- Help before and during an Access to Work application
- Help in some cases where support has been refused
- Help with Access to Work renewals and your next support arrangement
- Support for an employee
- A separate commercial administration enquiry
Who you'll work with
Our support workers, also described as assistants, have experience of supporting neurodivergent people. We match their skills to your working needs, starting with the tasks and barriers you want help with.
Training and checks
Our support workers complete specialist training covering ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia and other neurodivergent experiences, alongside safeguarding and data protection. They hold enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks and professional liability insurance.
A match shaped around your work
Tell us where work becomes difficult and what useful support would look like. We look for a worker whose skills complement those needs, with ongoing training and supervision to support the work.
Mostly remote, practical support
Most support is delivered remotely. An assistant can help you plan, organise and work through agreed tasks in your working day.
How support can be paid for
Access to Work-funded support
If you have an award, we can discuss a worker for the support it approves. We’ll need to understand the hours and conditions alongside your working needs. The Department for Work and Pensions decides the funding.
Paying directly
You or your employer can pay us for support directly. Businesses can also buy administrative help through our separate service. We’ll talk through the work and give you the charges and terms before you decide.
How you get started
You don’t need to know the right service name. Explain what you’d like help with and we’ll talk through the options, who could help and how it would be paid for.
Talk about the practical question first
A few lines about your work and the question you have are enough to start. You don’t need to give us a detailed personal history.
We’ll start with your question and the kind of help you’re looking for.
Not sure which route fits?
