New report backs government action to help neurodivergent people succeed at work

Imported from official source

  • Independent report finds neurodivergent people can flourish in work when given the right support based on their needs rather than a diagnosis.
  • Connect to Work and Pathways to Work Advisers are already helping neurodivergent people build fulfilling careers, with hundreds moving into work already.
  • The response sits alongside the government’s wider drive to support disabled people and people with health conditions into work, backed by £3.5 billion of funding by the end of the decade.

    • Published today, the Expert Academic Panel on Neurodiversity’s Report and Recommendations sets out how best to support neurodivergent employees to succeed at work.

    It notes that greater employment participation has the potential to lessen the burden on the health and welfare systems and boost economic growth.

  • Support that responds to individual strengths and challenges, based on need rather than diagnosis
  • Strengthening of existing disability employment policy; and awareness of best practice
  • Further research to address gaps in the evidence base;
  • Practical, evidence-based strategies to help neurodivergent employees succeed
  • Wider adoption of Universal Design principles so workplaces are built with everyone in mind from the outset. Neurodivergent people bring valuable skills and perspectives to the workplace, the report notes and that removing barriers to communication, and environment allow people to do their best work.

    • The Government is already putting this into practice through Connect to Work, part of the wider £3.5 billion disability employment investment. Its specialist pathway for neurodivergent and learning-disabled people builds support around each person’s individual strengths and needs, helping them find roles where they can excel.
