Embracing Autism and Neurodiversity in the Workplace

September 26, 2024 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Virtual Event

Sir Robert Buckland launched his review a few months ago. The review distilled down to 19 action points, the operative word being action. As we know, the Disability Confident ethos is all about ‘a little less conversation, a little more action.’ We’ve invited Sir Robert Buckland, Prof. Nicola Martin from LSB University, and David Forbes-Nixon of DFN Foundation to share how their work supports neurodiverse and autistic people. We will look at the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ to be much more inclusive employers. David will talk about the amazing work the foundation does with supported internships, and Nicola will speak to how they are supporting undergraduates who are autistic.

Speakers:

  • Sir Robert Buckland – Austism Review
  • DFN Foundation: David Forbes-Nixon, founder
  • London South Bank University: Prof. Nicola Martin
