In this webinar, Deb Solomon and Jenni Guthrie (Chair and Deputy Chair of the BASW Neurodivergent Social Workers Special Interest Group) will explore how organisations can support neurodivergent practitioners to thrive and progress, and, in the context of the continuing recruitment and retention crisis in social work, why it is important to do so.

The session will explore:

  • Myth busting and common assumptions about neurodiversity.
  • Adopting a strengths-based approach to supporting neurodivergent practitioners.
  • The views and experiences of neurodivergent practitioners.
  • Doing things differently: examples of effective practice and challenge questions for organisations.
