Organisations across the UK are seeing a rise in neurodiversity related workplace issues, from reasonable adjustment failures to discrimination claims. Employment tribunals involving neurodivergent workers have increased significantly in recent years, with many cases turning on simple adjustments, communication barriers or a lack of inclusive practices. With one in seven people likely to be neurodivergent, every employer needs to understand how to support neurodiversity and meet their legal duties in a practical, confident way.
In this webinar, we will explore how to create a workplace culture that supports neurodivergent employees. We will discuss whether neurodivergence is considered a disability, how tribunals approach neurodiversity discrimination claims, and how employers can reduce risk by improving policies, communication and reasonable adjustment pathways. We will also present real case studies, lessons from recent employment tribunals and practical steps that any organisation can take to become more neurodiversity friendly.
Join VinciWorks experts for this live one hour webinar where we will answer your questions on supporting neurodivergent colleagues and understanding your responsibilities.
