Every school, health setting, social worker and community support worker will:
- Have a supportive ethos and environment which promotes neurodiversity
- Have clear processes in place to:
- capture each child and young person’s voice
- respond to concerns raised by parents/carers/children and young
people/professionals
- Involve parents, discuss barriers to learning and share strategies/training for parents to
understand neurodiversity - Share appropriate information with partners as part of a multi-disciplinary team approach to
understand the child/young person’s strengths and needs - Have systems in place to review whether an environment is ‘neurodiverse friendly’ and
make reasonable adjustments as necessary - Have systems to implement a whole school/setting/workplace approach
- Provide opportunities for all workforces to audit the key skills and knowledge needed to
support the neurodiverse needs of children and young people - Provide training for all staff to develop understanding and confidence around supporting
neurodiverse needs that is relevant to their role - Support parents/carers and professionals by signposting to resources and sources of
information - Adapt teaching and learning styles (e.g., online vs face to face). Wider theories of
neurodivergence suggests monitoring students’ progress and adapting to their preferred
approaches for future lessons accordingly.
