Neurodiversity in the workplace and the union

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.

This three-hour seminar for chambers staff introduces participants to neurodiversity and working with minds of all kinds. The seminar examines the barriers that workplaces and the justice system put in the way of colleagues, clients and others 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 neuro-minorities make. After this seminar, you will know more about neurodiversity and have ideas (and enthusiasm!) for making your work more neuro-inclusive.
