“One in Seven” – the quiet revolution your workplace cannot afford to ignore

According to the Local Government Association, more than 15 per cent of the UK population—roughly one in seven people—is neurodivergent. local.gov.uk

Behind every seventh desk sits a colleague whose brain processes information differently: sometimes faster, sometimes in spirals, sometimes with dazzling lateral leaps. When organisations fail to recognise this rich reservoir of talent, creativity leaks away like rainwater through a cracked gutter.

A course with purpose, not platitudes

Safetyman Academy’s Supporting Neurodivergent Employees: Strategies for an Inclusive Workplace distils the latest thinking on neuro-inclusion into an accessible, CPD-accredited e-learning experience.

For £50 per learner—less than the price of a working-lunch platter—participants receive five hours of quality instruction, a digital certificate, and lasting confidence to nurture neurodiverse talent.

Knowledge is the antidote to silent exclusion.

What exactly will I study?

The programme is built around eleven crisp modules:

Understanding Neurodivergence – definitions, diagnoses, dismantling myths
The Spectrum of Neurodivergence – autism, ADHD, dyslexia and beyond
Strengths & Challenges – converting “differences” into performance assets
Creating an Inclusive Environment – lighting, noise, software, signage
Legal & Ethical Duties – Equality Act essentials for UK employers
Planning & Implementing Support – reasonable adjustments that work
Communicating Support Plans – crystal-clear dialogues, zero stigma
Monitoring Effectiveness – data-driven tweaks that keep help helpful
Adjusting Support – agile responses to changing needs
Continuous Improvement – embedding neuro-inclusion into policy
Celebrating Successes – storytelling that normalises difference

Who should enrol? Everyone with a payslip or a duty of care

Front-line colleagues learn why not all instructions land the same way—and how to adapt on the fly.
Supervisors & line managers gain templates for reasonable adjustments that boost productivity rather than box-ticking.
Health, Safety & HR specialists discover fresh risk-assessment angles and wellbeing metrics.
Directors & C-suite leaders uncover the commercial logic of diverse cognition and its link to innovation pipelines.

Tangible dividends for business

Engagement up, turnover down – supported staff stay, saving recruitment spend.
Sharper problem-solving – diverse perspectives break group-think gridlock.
Brand burnish – clients, investors and regulators increasingly expect neuro-inclusive practice.

Empowerment for the learner

Completing the course signals an understanding of neurodiversity that many employers now view as a hiring advantage. Graduates add five CPD credits to their CV, positioning themselves for roles in people management, health & safety, and diversity leadership.

Greener training for a warming planet

Traditional classroom courses drag hidden emissions in their wake—cars, trains, hotels, photocopiers. Distance learning models use 87 per cent less energy and emit 85 per cent fewer CO₂ equivalents than face-to-face tuition. lf.westernsydney.edu.au By moving neuro-inclusion training online, Safetyman Academy helps organisations trim their carbon ledger while learners enjoy the convenience of studying at home.
