Diversity comes in many forms.
As you work hard to create a workforce representative of the community that you serve, you’re welcoming the talents and skills of people from all backgrounds and walks of life.
Neurodivergent talent represents 1 in 7 people within your community.
People with neurodiverse conditions, such as autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD benefit the workplace with unique perspectives and ways of approaching challenges.
Did you know?
Research has found that almost half of officers with dyslexia chose not to disclose that they have dyslexia to their police service.
This was for reasons including fear of stigmatisation, and risk of competences being questioned.
Harnessing the strengths of neurodifferences is about creating an inclusive culture where people feel confident to be themselves, comfortable to seek support, and empowered to succeed.
Being proactive about neurodiversity can help you to achieve your vision for a Force that aligns the right skills, powers and experience to meet challenging requirements.
