This webinar, the first in a series, explores the role of health and safety professionals in ensuring that workplaces are inclusive for a neurodiverse workforce.

There are more people with conditions such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, autism and ADHD than we realise. They have alternative ways of thinking and respond differently to what is around them. 

A panel of experts considers the role of health and safety professionals in ensuring safe and inclusive working conditions for a neurodiverse workforce. What steps should employers take to enable all their workers to work effectively?

The panel is led by IOSH President Lawrence Webb.

How to use our resources

We recommend assessing your capability and building a personal development plan first. This helps you focus on resources that address your identified gaps. Then follow these three steps.

  1. Learn – watch, listen or read

    Choose a resource that matches your development goals. Take notes on the key points and insights. Think actively about what you’re learning.

  2. Record in Blueprint

    Log your activity as CPD activity in IOSH Blueprint. You’ll need the title, date, duration and a reflection of what you learned. Please note: the CPD hours listed for our resources are a guide as everyone learns at different paces.

  3. Apply and reflect

    Think about how you’ll apply what you’ve learned. What will you do differently? How will this improve your practice or skills.
