Staff Neurodiversity Forum

Our Neurodiversity Forum is open to all staff who may identify with neurodivergent conditions, to come together and share their experiences.

We are excited to relaunch the Staff Neurodiversity Forum, building on the valuable feedback you shared with us during the focus groups we held in 2024. Those discussions highlighted the importance of creating a regular space for dialogue and support, and this forum is the next step in continuing that work.

Our Neurodiversity Forum is open to all staff who may identify with neurodivergent conditions, to come together and share their experiences of working at Abertay, helping us to understand what works well and what we can improve upon.

This session reflects our values and commitment to a workplace that is caring and inclusive, where every voice matters. By coming together collaboratively, we can share experiences, identify barriers, and explore innovative approaches to supporting neurodivergent colleagues.

Your participation is highly valued, and your insights will guide us in enhancing the support and resources available, so we can keep building an inclusive and caring environment together.

Session Format

• Part 1: People Services will be in attendance to listen, answer questions, and hear your feedback.
• Part 2: A dedicated discussion space without People Services present, allowing for open and confidential conversation among participants.

In-person and online

This will be a hybrid meeting, taking place in Room 4503 (Kydd Building) and online.

Everyone who registers will be sent a Teams link from Eventbrite to join online. As this group is intended to support staff in the workplace, we ask that only Abertay staff attend. We look forward to your valuable contributions and working together to make meaningful change.

What to expect

This forum is designed to be an open, supportive space for staff who identify as neurodivergent. During the session, we will:

• Welcome everyone, and outline the purpose of the forum.
• Share a quick recap of feedback from previous discussions and any progress made since the last meeting.
• Explore what’s working well and the current challenges we face.
• Discuss ideas for practical improvements and future support.
• Agree on the next steps and how we’ll keep the conversation going.
