  • CPD Accredited
Overview

What this course covers

Neurodivergent employees bring genuine strengths to a team, yet many workplaces still rely on systems built around a single way of thinking. This programme reframes neurodiversity as a natural part of human variety rather than a deficit, tackling the myths that contribute to bias.

Learners cover the challenges neurodivergent colleagues may face and the legal duties employers hold under the Equality Act 2010. The course closes with practical, actionable steps for building genuinely inclusive teams.
