Neurodiversity in the workplace and the union

Training Course • Red in the Spectrum

About the CPD course

This six-day; two-part course for trade unionists introduces participants to neurodiversity and their role in campaigning for neuro-inclusive workplaces. Using case studies; the course examines the barriers that workplaces put in the way of workers who are autistic; dyspraxic; dyslexic or dyscalculic or have ADHD or Tourette syndrome. Through participatory learning; we apply the social model of disability to identify measures to reduce these barriers and develop skills in campaigning and negotiating for them. The course also covers neurodiversity as a health and safety issue; the law; working carers’ rights and neurodiversity issues in wider society.
