Neurodiversity Celebration Week

Neurodiversity Celebration Week provides an ideal opportunity for organisations to bring neurodiversity to the forefront of workplace conversations.

During the week, Diversity Does delivers Neurodiversity in Conversation - a supportive, inclusive lunch & learn designed to help organisations open up meaningful conversations about neurodiversity at work in a way that feels human, respectful, and psychologically safe.

Delivered in a warm, accessible, and engaging style, the session is suitable for all roles and levels. It focuses on building shared understanding, reducing stigma, and supporting more inclusive day-to-day interactions across teams - celebrating the diversity of how people think, process, and experience work.

The conference will also feature keynote speakers from the Department for Education and a wide range of exhibitors, making it a must-attend event for educational staff, particularly School Business Managers with responsibility for people, policy and culture.
