SUMMARY:Create a Culture of Neuro-Inclusivity
DESCRIPTION:Government Events would like to invite you to their upcoming event\, The Neurodiversity in the Workplace Conference 2023\, taking place on the 5th December online. \nAcross the UK\, 15-20% of the population are thought to be neurodivergent. In recent years\, awareness around neurodiversity has grown and employers have begun to realise the benefits of embracing a diverse workforce and the variety of perspectives that comes with it. Despite this\, there are still numerous obstacles faced by neurodivergent people in the workplace. To help neurodivergent team members reach their full potential\, organisations must train managers to support these employees\, develop inclusive cultures\, and create an open dialogue about neurodiversity at work. \n\nIn the UK\, 29% of autistic adults are employed\, according to 2021 data from the Office for National Statistics\nThe British Dyslexia Association estimates that around 10% of the UK population is dyslexic\n65% of neurodivergent employees don’t disclose their conditions to employers out of fear of discrimination\n\n(Birkbeck’s Research Centre for Neurodiversity at Work\, 2023) \nKeynote \nJohn Nelson\, Chair\, National Police Autism Association (CONFIRMED) \n\nRolling out campaigns that spread awareness and a greater understanding of challenges faced by neurodiverse peers\nWorking alongside staff with neurodiversity to design and implement policies that create a culture of neuro-inclusivity\nTools and resources for supporting neurodiverse staff and signposting available help to allow them to achieve their full potential\nStrategies to encourage representation at all levels and visible neurodiverse leadership\n\nCase Study \nDeb Solomon\, Practice Development Lead/Social Worker\, Derbyshire County Council (CONFIRMED) \n\nSharing ideas and initiatives to implement during Neurodiversity Celebration Week\nCo-production techniques to understand the needs of neurodiverse colleagues and design policies that work for them\nCreating a staff network to provide a safe and welcoming space where neurodivergent staff can share experiences and challenges\nTools and resources for designing a buddying scheme that helps staff who are unfamiliar with neurodiversity understand their colleagues’ experiences\n\nTo book:    \n
