Neurodiversity in the Workplace

Hear from a range of speakers and network with local organisations offering free support and guidance for employers.

Brought to you by the Mid Ulster Health and Disability Awareness Working Group, the morning will begin at 9.30am with some breakfast and networking opportunities.

At 10am our Compere, Maggie McCloskey (USEL) will open the event and we will hear from a range of speakers. You will learn about some of the most common neurodiverse conditions as well as hearing from those with lived experience, from the perspective of an employee and employer. There will also be practical tips for employers on ways to remove barriers and embrace a diverse and inclusive workspace.

A range of support agencies will be present, offering advice and assistance.

Following the close of the event, there will be another opportunity to network and chat to the various agencies, face to face, to discover the range of free support and guidance available to local employers.
