Neurodiversity Guidance for employers, managers, staff and students

Neurodiversity acknowledges that each person’s brain is unique. Our brains work and interpret information differently and we all bring individual experience, strengths, and assets to a situation. This guidance has been developed for staff and students who are neurodivergent and for the managers and employers who support them. It is intended for the health and care sector but its overarching principles will be helpful in other settings. Please also see the Neurodiversity pocket guide (010 157).

Some of our publications are also available in hard copy, but this may entail a small charge. For more information and to order a hard copy please call 0345 772 6100 and select option five. The line is open Monday-Friday (excluding bank holidays) between 10am-4pm.

You can download all electronic publications from the RCN free of charge.
