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.?However, it is estimated that around one in seven people (more than 15 per cent?of people in the UK) are neurodivergent, meaning that the brain functions, learns and processes information differently?.This one-day course provides practical insights into the concept of Neuro Diversity and the wide range of different people who require different types of support. Practical ideas on how to work and effectively support colleagues at work as well as service users are presented against a background of the latest legal, educational, social and clinical reference points and resources. The course is supported with a comprehensive toolkit and showcases best practice in the private, public, and not for profit sectors. These case studies reinforce the importance of equality impact and workplace risk assessments that have proven success.? Full details on request [email protected]
?It is estimated that there are currently 13 million UK women who are perimenopausal or menopausal, equivalent to almost one third of the UK female population. With an ageing UK population, more women than ever, 8 out 10 menopausal women, will be working into and beyond menopause. A significant number of women have left work due to the impact of menopause.??And of the 23 employment tribunals referencing menopause last year,?16 cited disability discrimination, 10 claimed sex discrimination and 14 were based on unfair dismissal. One employment tribunal in Hull heard how a factory worker was reprimanded for undoing her top button, despite having told her employer she was suffering hot flushes due to the menopause.?The course is accompanied with policy templates and an audit checklist.??Full details on request [email protected]
