Professional training for colleagues who want to support neurodivergent staff with confidence, clarity and compassion.
Neurodiversity is now recognised across every sector. Yet most organisations still rely on informal knowledge, inconsistent practices, and reactive processes when supporting neurodivergent staff.
Many employees are capable, motivated and highly skilled — but face barriers created by environments and systems not built for cognitive difference.
Managers want to help.
HR wants to prevent escalation.
Teams want clarity.
But without structured training, employees often struggle alone until issues become urgent.
The result?
Misunderstandings, stress, reduced confidence — and support arriving far too late.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
✓ how neurodivergence interacts with workplace demands
✓ how to identify barriers and strengths
✓ what reasonable adjustments really look like in practice
✓ how to make conversations safer, clearer and easier
✓ where and when to signpost appropriately
That’s exactly what the CoreADHD Neurodiversity Workplace Advocate Programme™ provides.
