Neurodiversity in the rail industry

Training Course

About the CPD Course

This three-day course for workers and/or managers in railway companies introduces participants to neurodiversity. The course examines the barriers that workplaces put in the way of colleagues who are autistic, dyspraxic, dyslexic or dyscalculic or have ADHD or Tourette syndrome. Through participatory learning, we apply the social model of disability to identify measures to reduce these barriers and highlight the positive contributions that neurominorities make. You will also learn about neurodiversity as a health and safety issue, legal obligations on railway companies, the needs of neurodivergent passengers and measures to make rail travel more neuro-inclusive.

Neurodiversity in the workplace and the union

Red in the Spectrum

This six-day, two-part course for trade unionists introduces participants to neurodiversity and their role in campaigning for neuro-inclusive workplaces. Using case studies, the course examines the barriers that workplaces put in the way of workers who are autistic, dyspraxic, dyslexic or dyscalculic or have ADHD or Tourette syndrome. Through participatory learning, we apply the social model of disability to identify measures to reduce these barriers and develop skills in campaigning and negotiating for them. The course also covers neurodiversity as a health and safety issue, the law, working carers’ rights and neurodiversity issues in wider society.
