Webinar recording: Hosting students with neurodiversity and SEND

This webinar was delivered on 2 October 2024.

Hosting neurodiverse students and students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) brings many benefits in terms of an inclusive approach to talent and greater diversity in the organisation. There are some extra responsibilities for employers, but these are shared with the educational provider and should not be seen as a barrier to offering placements.

This webinar demonstrates why employers benefit from hosting SEND and neurodiverse students. It also shows what these extra responsibilities are and how employers can meet them in collaboration with schools and colleges.

In this 1 hour online session, we gave an overview of the following

• An understanding of SEND, education and health care (EHC) plans and neurodiversity
• A SEND roadmap
• Reasonable adjustments
• Employer and provider responsibilities, including sharing placement hours
• Helping SEND students to learn at work
