Neurodiversity
at work
A practical event
A practical event hosted by Neuro-Sparks and ELCONS Employment Law Consultants, helping businesses build more supportive and inclusive workplaces.
This event takes place at:
Lancashire FA
Leyland
Preston
PR25 2LF
What will this session cover?
Neuro-Sparks will explore neurodiversity and the neurodiversity umbrella, including the strengths and challenges neurodivergent people may experience at work. The session will also look at respectful language, inclusive behaviours and practical adjustments that can help people feel better supported.
Elcons will focus on the employment law and people-management considerations employers need to understand, including disability disclosure, reasonable adjustments and supporting both employees and managers.
The aim is to give attendees useful information they can take back into their own organisations, whether they are already supporting neurodivergent employees or want to build their confidence for the future.
There will also be an opportunity to ask questions, share experiences and connect with other local businesses.
Neurodivergent people still have real barriers
Neurodiversity is part of everyday working life. Conditions and differences such as autism, ADHD and dyslexia can influence how people communicate, process information, approach tasks and experience the workplace.
For employers, understanding these differences is an important step towards supporting employees effectively, helping managers feel more confident and making the most of the strengths people bring to their teams.
But knowing where to start is not always straightforward.
What support might make a difference? How should managers respond when an employee raises a concern or discloses a condition? What does the law expect employers to consider?
This joint event will explore these questions in a practical, accessible way, helping employers move beyond awareness and towards meaningful action.
Put simply: a workspace that gets both of these things right removes two sets of barriers at once, for a lot of the same people. That’s exactly what this training is about.
