Become an Inclusive Futures Partner
Charter – join us to create an inclusive future
It doesn’t matter how many steps you’ve already taken to be an inclusive employer, we want you to join us if you’re willing to think differently about how you do things in order to create opportunities for neurodivergent people.
This can mean:
- Looking at your business model and operations to see where opportunities can be created for neurodivergent people.
- Exploring different ways into work for candidates – things that focus on someone’s ability to perform the job role rather than their social competence or CV.
- Being proactive about offering reasonable adjustments to support a colleague’s sensory, physical or processing needs.
- Exploring ways to help neurodivergent employees thrive in work and encourage their career progression – for example having a neurodiversity network or using mentors/buddies.
- Considering neurodiversity training for staff.
- Looking for ways that your organisation can highlight neurodiversity as part of its brand, sharing good practice and being an active part of our network.
Join us today,
and access specialist information and resources to help you, with the potential for online training and networking events to share expertise and good practice later this year.
