Employment Law at 11: Neurodiversity and the Law – What you need to know

Legal Island

Is your organisation fully compliant with legal requirements around neurodiversity? Championing a neuro-inclusive workplace is an increasingly important part of a diverse workforce here in NI. With the NI Civil Service leading the charge with the release of their “Neurodiversity: NICS Line Manager’s Toolkit”, neurodiversity is never far from the HR headlines.

In this edition of Employment Law at 11 regulars Christine Quinn of Legal Island and Seamus McGranaghan of O’Reilly Stewart unpack the legal obligations and best practices for supporting neurodivergent employees.

Seamus explores:

• What are the legal rights of neurodivergent employees under NI employment law?
• How can employers meet their duty to provide reasonable adjustments?
• What are the legal risks of failing to accommodate neurodiversity in the workplace?
