🛑 #TeamNiB are delighted to announce that the full 2024 Neurodiversity in Business and Work report will be published in September. The preliminary results were met with resounding support when the research leads, Prof Almuth McDowell and Dr Nancy Doyle, visiting professor, Birkbeck University presented them at yesterday’s well-attended public event. This year the research has focused on: • Improved capture of ND strengths and weaknesses • Better capture of wellbeing and engagement • Knowledge and support – subtle slights and microaggressions • Conflicts and resolution – psychological safety We can’t wait to discuss the report’s findings once it is officially released in September and look forward to hearing your responses and contributions. #Neurodiversity #NeurodiversityInBusiness #CollaboratingForImpact Image description: An image with a grey background and white wording which reads “Changing the world for the next generation. Coming soon. 2024 Neurodiversity in Business and Work Report. Take Two: Progress and Priorities.

Some days you have the chance to #ChangeTheWorld. Today is one of those days! How will you help? 💪 Please: ♻️ Repost so society becomes #NeuroInclusive. ✍️ Comment with your support. 📝Tag in ND activists and friends. There was a day in history. A beautiful day in April 2024 when the “ND Screening and Teacher Training Bill” was debated in Parliament. The early election stopped the Bill progressing and the author, Matt Hancock retired. So, we need a new ND champion in Parliament to revive this vital Bill which proposes that all neurodivergent conditions are screened for in primary school, to ensure that every neurodivergent child is identified and receives the necessary support. I’m partnering with Accessible Learning Foundation (ALF). Please add your voice and urge your MP to support the Bill’s return by tailoring this ‘MP Letter’ template (Link in comments). We often ask for society to change. Today is your opportunity to change it! Who is with us? 💪 ⁉️PS: Are you as excited as me? Let me know in the comments if you will send a letter and who your MP is?

🛑 On the afternoon of 23rd July, #TeamNiB are visiting Barclays’ Glasgow campus, an office designed with #Neuroinclusion in mind. As you may remember from the BBC Radio documentary that we contributed to (link in comments), this office is a great example of neuroinclusivity in the workplace. Some of Barclays’ key considerations for the workspace include lighting, sound environment, colours, textures, accessibility via the doors, signage and fire escapes, and the overall design. This visit is an opportunity to see inclusion in action, and to network with other NIB corporate members who are leading the charge on #NeuroinclusionNow. 👉To register your interest in attending complete our the form in the comments. ⭐️Want a reminder on the initial visit last year?
