What Is
Neurodiversity?
Neurodiversity encapsulates the beautiful spectrum of cognitive differences present among individuals, encompassing conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and more.
Embracing neurodiversity training isn’t just about compliance or ticking boxes; it’s about creating a culture of empathy, inclusion, and genuine support within your company. It’s about acknowledging the inherent value that neurodivergent employees bring to the table and creating environments where they thrive.
It’s also important to remember neurodiversity training is not a one-time event but an ongoing process that provides continuous support and resources to ensure that neurodiversity initiatives remain effective and impactful.

Common misconceptions about neurodiversity training...
It’s Only for Neurodivergent Individuals! The First misconception is that neurodiversity training is only relevant to neurodivergent individuals. In reality, neurodiversity training is beneficial for everyone in your organisation, including neurotypical individuals.
It’s Just Sensitivity Training! While sensitivity to language and behaviour is important, neurodiversity training goes beyond this to create a deeper understanding of neurodivergent experiences and needs.
It’s Only Relevant to HR! Another misconception is that neurodiversity training is solely the responsibility of HR departments. In reality, neurodiversity training should involve all levels of the organization, including leadership teams, managers, and frontline staff, to ensure a comprehensive and inclusive approach to supporting neurodivergent individuals.

Our employability and enterprise programmes provide education, mentoring and personal development training to people from underrepresented and disadvantaged communities. By doing this we hope to provide those from underrepresented communities with the necessary skills and knowledge to enter entrepreneurship and the workplace (…or maybe come and work in your company!).
