Motion 76
Neurodiversity & Employment Policies
“That this Congress notes the evolving nature of employment issues and the trade union movement’s ability to respond.
“Neurodiversity is a growing area of focus, due in part to improved awareness and diagnoses, and in part due to a real increase in neurodiversity.
“Congress notes that employers are only just starting to recognise and accommodate neurodiversity. Inclusive adjustments and considerations are still in their infancy, and the extent and pace of it simply is not good enough. Policies are more likely to be drafted by neurotypical people with no input from neurodiverse workers.
“Congress calls on the General Council to lobby the Scottish Government to ensure public sector employers include neurodiverse employees in the design and composition of employment policies, and to test the neurodiverse friendliness of policies with the help of leading neurodiversity organisations before implementation.”
