Overview***Please note this is Moodle training, not an in-person or online workshop. Please do not book onto this training in HR Organiser.*** Understanding neurodiversity is key to building an inclusive culture at Essex. Many of us work and learn alongside neurodivergent colleagues and students every day, and feeling confident in how we communicate and support one another makes a real difference. To help strengthen this understanding, we’re pleased to offer two new online courses on neurodiversity, which are accessible to all our staff and students. The training provides a clear, friendly introduction to what neurodiversity is, and how we might incorporate it when managing teams. The courses cover: - what neurodiversity is and why we should celebrate it; - the science behind neurodiversity; - how we can accommodate different neurotypes in the workplace; - managing neurodiverse teams; - fostering an inclusive workplace; - supporting neurodivergent staff. Each course is self paced, so you can work through the material in your own time. You just need to enrol on the course via Moodle to get started - https://moodle.essex.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=40070 ***Please note this is Moodle training, not an in-person or online workshop.
