Neurodiversity is becoming an increasingly important focus for employers. As awareness and diagnosis of conditions such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Tourette’s Syndrome continue to grow, organisations are expected to understand how workplace practices, policies and management approaches can affect neurodivergent employees.

Getting this right can help you unlock valuable strengths, improve employee experience and reduce the risk of discrimination, harassment, victimisation and failure-to-make-reasonable-adjustments claims. Getting it wrong can lead to avoidable legal exposure, employee relations issues and missed opportunities to support talent effectively.

Led by Senior Employment Law Adviser Patrick Carroll-Fogg, this free session will give you practical, legally grounded guidance on supporting neurodivergent employees while meeting your obligations as an employer.

Why attend?

  • Understand neurodiversity at work: Build confidence around common neurodivergent conditions and how they may affect employees in different roles and environments.

  • Know your legal responsibilities: Learn how employment and equality law applies, including reasonable adjustments and common areas of risk.

  • Take practical action: Explore steps you can take to improve policies, management practices, communication and workplace culture.

  • Reduce risk and support wellbeing: Identify how to respond appropriately when concerns arise and how to create a more supportive employee experience.

  • Ask your questions: Put real-life challenges to our expert during the dedicated Q&A.

What you’ll take away

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your obligations, practical ideas for reasonable adjustments, and greater confidence in creating a workplace where neurodivergent employees can thrive. Places are free, but availability is limited, so we recommend registering early to secure your seat.
