Why should we be making neurodiversity a priority in the workplace?
- The UK workforce is estimated to include at least 1 in 7 people who are neurodivergent (likely higher due to underdiagnosis)
- 15–20% of the UK population is estimated to be neurodivergent
- Around 37% of neurodivergent adults are in employment
- Diagnosis for adults is rising sharply
So, join us for an insightful and practical session on making neuroinclusion a priority in the workplace – not just policy, but practice.
Whether you're leading a team, driving inclusion, or you are neurodivergent this webinar will give you real world insights. We’ll unpack what neurodiversity actually means, bust some myths, and get practical about creating workplaces where all minds can thrive.
You’ll hear lived experiences, smart strategies, and simple changes that can make a big difference. Plus, we’ll explore how language, flexibility, and culture shape inclusion more than tick box policies ever could.
