Let’s talk: why we need more neurodiversity in social work
It is estimated that around 15-20% of people in the UK are neurodivergent. It is imperative that employers recognise the contribution and benefits that neurodiversity within social workers can bring to the workforce. The workforce should also reflect the people accessing the services, and challenge the stigma that exists around neurodiversity.
Join us and hear from our past trainees about their experience on the programme, experienced social workers and people who have used services.
You’ll learn how you can make a difference through social work and the need for more neurodiverse perspectives in the sector.
