What is Neurodiversity?

Neurodiversity refers to the different ways the brain can work and interpret information. It highlights that people naturally think about things differently. We have different interests and motivations, and are naturally better at some things and poorer at others. Most people are neurotypical, meaning that the brain functions and processes information in the way society expects. However it is estimated that around 1 in 7 people (more than 15% of people in the UK) are neurodivergent, meaning that the brain functions, learns and processes information differently. Title

Why is Neurodiversity important to SWaT?

As part of our commitment to building a diverse and inclusive workplace for our staff, customers and partners who work with the Council, there is a need to focus on neurodiversity and to support individuals who have specific needs. We want to raise awareness amongst staff to be able to recognise and support colleagues, customers, members and partners, making our working community more inclusive. Title

What is our approach?

We have registered as a disability committed

employer and aim through a focussed action plan to achieve accreditation as a disability confident employer We are setting up a working group consisting of staff who either have Neurodivergent challenges themselves or support friends and family who do. This group will help us shape our plans and test some of the training, guidance and management toolkits before they are rolled out.
