The Equality Act (2010) is enforced within the UK and ensures protection for individuals and specific groups within the workplace.  An individual with a neurodiverse condition is protected under this Act.

As part of your compliance as an employer, and general good practice within the workplace, you will want to ensure you have excellent strategies in situ to enhance and contribute to the wellbeing of your employees.  

Having an effective strategy for Diversity and Inclusion will complement your D&I Policy and add value to your business, making your company objectives even more effective, and in doing so, you will be offering a supportive, nurturing and engaging environment where your employees can develop and flourish.

When considering the type of support you will provide for your neurodiverse employees, we recommend you:

• Meets 1^st line treatment pathway according to NICE guidelines for ADHD (2018)
• No unnecessary time taken out of work
• Fulfilling your employer duty of care for your neurodiverse employees (D&I)
• Already piloted in an NHS Trust with excellent results
• Evidence-based information - researched, written and delivered by an appropriately trained and qualified health professional with lived experience input
• Collaboratively designed and delivered with an expert by lived experience
