Encouraging disclosure

Download our free template

Organisations frequently ask us how to encourage disclosure of disabilities and neurodiversity within their workforce. Although there is no 'quick-win, one size fits all' answer, one strategy to consider is upskilling employees to advocate for themselves and effectively express their strengths, challenges, and preferences in the workplace.

A self-advocacy document serves as a tool to assist employees in recognising and communicating their strengths, challenges, strategies they employ, and the support they require at work. This resource can be utilised in various ways: employees can use it independently or facilitated by a line manager or workplace coach.

We've created a FREE template which you can use, with guidelines and an example.
