On completion of the online Autism Friendly Charter training by 75% of your registered workforce, your organisation will be invited to sign-up to the Autism Friendly Charter.
Here's what you are committing to:
As a member of the Autism Friendly Charter movement, your business, organisation or agency is committing to principles that increase your corporate responsibility and support an accessible and inclusive society.
- Ensuring your workforce have had autism awareness training. Your workforce will also be aware of where they can go to find out more information on autism.
- Making necessary adjustments to support accessibility and inclusion for everyone.
- Ensuring that individual communication preferences are respected, valued and utilised.
- Recognising differences in sensory processing and consideration of your sensory environment.
- Actively seeking suggestions from the autism community and welcoming feedback to help you be more inclusive.
- Creating an environment where everyone, including your workforce, feels comfortable sharing their experiences of autism.
- Providing all, including those on the autism spectrum, with a supportive working environment.
- Identifying a key staff member as an autism friendly champion, to support everyone to feel confident in using neurodiversity-affirming practices.
