I work part time due to my disability,I am looking for progression, however, my work will only offer me full time apprenticeships. I have asked that they negotiate with the training providers to as for adjustments to support me to access the course- it has been 4 months and I don’t believe this has been done.

I have sent more flexible apprenticeships- they have not responded despite chasing.

I have asked for part time courses to be paid for by my employer- they tell me they have not got the money to pay for these. 

I have asked to explore work experience and informal training options, however, my employer refuse to discuss this. 

I have raised a grievance 5 months ago, they have not responded - when I chase they tell me they are speaking to relevant staff. Company policy states 4 weeks for this process. 

Any advice/ support welcomed
