New Autism Employment Review announced
The focus of the review is on supporting businesses to recruit and retain individuals affected by autism and to benefit from a more neurodivergent workforce. Currently, less than three in 10 people with autism are in employment – the review will consider how employers can identify and better support individuals, as well as reducing the stigma around neurodiversity.
We’re creating a ‘neurodiversity toolkit’ for employers – get in touch to find out more.
