It is too late to book a place for this particular session, sorry about that.**Please note - this is a fee-paying conference
Holyrood Insights are hosting a conference about Neurodivergent People in the Workplace.
It is estimated that 1 in 7 people are neurodivergent, more than 15% of the UK workforce. Neurodivergent people face major disparities and barriers to employment across Scotland, for example, the employment rate for autistic adults, is 16%*.
The Scottish Government have recently reaffirmed their commitment to delivering the Learning Disability, Autism and Neurodiversity Bill tackling the inequalities faced by neurodivergent people.
Against this backdrop, it is important for employers, regardless of sector, to strengthen their approach to creating a culture of inclusion and belonging so everyone can thrive.
Join Holyrood Insight’s Neurodiversity in the Workplace Conference to learn from Scottish organisations that are leading the way in integrating and harnessing the potential of neurodivergent employees and creating neuroinclusive workplaces.
Fife Voluntary Action recognises that this session will be of particular interest to parts of Fife's third sector- we've therefore opted to include it here.
Please note, though, that the cost to attend is a little more than we'd normally expect for a session promoted on our channels- be fully sure of the costs before you make plans to attend.
