Neurodiversity Champions

Neurodiversity Champions™ are volunteers who contribute towards a ‘neuro-divergence friendly’ workplace culture. They answer questions and provide informal support related to all aspects of neurodiversity, including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia & dyscalculia.

Neurodiversity Champions provide a safe and impartial space where people can obtain accurate, useful information about neurodivergent conditions and what support is available to them in the workplace.

They also:

• are an ‘approachable, knowledgeable friend’,
• have a positive influence on their colleagues and work environment,
• continue to gain knowledge on the topic of neurodiversity,
• appreciate the need for positive wellbeing - for colleagues and for themselves,
• work with heart – and they are approachable, knowledgeable and impartial,
• guide colleagues towards a recognised process of support.

If you have a question around neurodiversity, are experiencing difficulties, or just want to know more about how they can support you, please contact a Neurodiversity Champion today.

The Neurodiversity Champions™ programme was developed by Janette Beetham from Right Resources. Imperial's Inclusion team uses Janette as one of our expert consultants, and the Neurodiversity Champions programme was piloted at Imperial in 2017.
