Neurodiversity Policy - July 2026

4. Our Commitment to You

We recognise that neurodivergent individuals can bring strengths to the workplace in many areas such as attention to detail, thinking outside the box, visual imaging, pattern recognition and analytical skills.

We believe that efforts to create and maintain a neuro-inclusive organisation will help foster creativity, different viewpoints, richer ideas and innovation, which will help drive improved organisational performance.

However, we understand that neurodivergent individuals can experience a number of barriers in the workplace.

We are committed to making changes to address these barriers. For example:

• ensuring that we build awareness and understanding around neurodiversity;

• creating inclusive recruitment practices and selection processes;

• encouraging individuals with neurodivergent conditions to share their lived experience if they feel comfortable doing so;

• signposting support for neurodivergent individuals and colleagues to build learning and understanding around neurodiversity;

• providing training for line managers to ensure that they can support neurodivergent individuals; and

• providing neurodiversity awareness sessions for the workforce to help staff empathise with and support their neurodivergent colleagues better.
