Workplace Resources
Supporting neurodivergent staff makes your workplace stronger, but many employers are unsure where to begin. That is why we worked with a UK employment law specialist to develop clear, practical articles about neurodiversity at work.
They cover legal duties, reasonable adjustments, and building a more inclusive culture—so you can take action with confidence, not guesswork.
We do not offer legal advice, but we can put you in touch with a trusted employment law firm that understands workplace inclusion.
