Discover and Learn- Inclusive Employment in Action

A practical introduction to disability and Neurodiversity inclusion, with simple adjustments, legal insights and workplace tips.

Want to build a workplace where more people can do their best work, without feeling like you need the “perfect words” or a huge policy overhaul? Join us for a friendly 1-hour online taster session that blends our Disability Awareness and Neurodiversity Awareness into one practical hour.

We’ll share real examples from employers and supported employment practice, bust a few common myths, and explore simple adjustments that make a big difference.

You’ll leave with clear, usable tips for everyday conversations, confidence around inclusive language, and a handful of actions you can take immediately to support disabled and neurodivergent employees, whether you’re in HR, management, people leadership, or just want to do right by your team.

  • Become more aware of workplace barriers and the small adjustments that can support people perform at their best.
  • Tips for inclusive communication and supportive conversations
  • Become more aware of your legal responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010
  • Practical examples of reasonable adjustments that work in real workplaces
  • Space to ask questions and share challenges (no judgement, no jargon)
