Neurodiversity Audit

Most organisations are making neurodiversity decisions based on incomplete data. Our Neurodiversity Audit tells you what your workforce actually looks like - and what it actually needs.
4xmore neurodivergent talent identified through our audit than through internal disclosure data alone.
That gap isn't a data collection problem. It's a trust problem. Standard employee surveys and internal disclosure rates are shaped by one thing above all else: psychological safety.

The Challenge

Employees don't always trust that anonymous means anonymous.

Even when surveys are genuinely confidential, many neurodivergent employees have had experiences - in this workplace or previous ones - that make them cautious. The fear that it might be used against them, or simply won't be acted on, is enough.
Survey fatigue is real.

When neurodiversity or employee experience surveys arrive without clear context or genuine organisational momentum behind it, it's easy for it to feel like another tick-box exercise, and participation and honesty both suffer as a result.
Internal data can't capture what hasn't been disclosed yet.

The data you collect is shaped entirely by the trust and safety that already exists. For most organisations at the start of this journey, that isn't yet enough.
What Makes Our Audit Different

Higher disclosure. More reliable data.
A foundation built on trust.

01

We achieve buy-in and win hearts and minds.
Before any data is collected, we run our Change Management programme to create genuine psychological safety across your workforce. Employees who understand why the audit is happening - and who trust that their responses will lead to real change -engage honestly.
02

We combine objective and subjective measurements.
Self-reported confidence scores alone don't give you a reliable picture. Someone who attended a one-hour lunch and learn may rate their confidence highly, while having significant knowledge gaps they're not aware of.
03

We are independent, and we bring lived experience.
As an external partner with lived experience, we create a level of trust that internal surveys rarely achieve. Employees share more honestly when they believe the people asking genuinely understand and care.
04

We translate data into precise learning pathways. Every piece of data and feedback maps to a tailored learning pathway. Your training investment reaches the people who need it, in the format that's right for them, at a level that's genuinely relevant to where they are.
On average, we identify 4x more neurodivergent talent than what is revealed through internal disclosure data.

The Audit Process

Step 1: Change Management & Buy-In

We work with your entire workforce, from senior leadership to frontline staff, to build a genuine understanding and buy-in. Without this foundation, no audit can produce truly reliable results.

Step 2: Discovery & Diagnosis

Confidential surveys, manager capability assessments, policy reviews, environmental analysis, and employee focus groups. A complete picture of your organisation's neurodiversity landscape.

Step 3: Insights & Action

Plan A comprehensive audit report that transforms your data into a clear, prioritised strategy, with evidence-based recommendations across policy, environment, management, and culture

Step 4: Implementation & Measurement

Your audit findings become the strategic blueprint. Targeted training, policy development, and a long-term strategy; all built around your specific workforce data, with ROI measurable from day one.

"The impact this training has had is real! Our managers are building confidence, learning how neurodiversity support shapes performance, and we’ve minimised legal risk.We now know that neurodiversity is integral to our company success and objectives."

“The attitude wasn't 'let's spend an hour on this and get back to work'. Neurodiversity is woven into everything we do. The programme has elevated our existing initiatives and enormously enhanced our community even when we're fully remote. "

Educator, Neurodivergent Learner | Data Literacy Academy

"It was really useful having statistics on who identifies as neurodivergent. It emphasized the need for the programme. We work with a lot of people where this is relevant."

Katy Vincet

FAQs

Why do we need an audit if we already have disclosure data?

Internal disclosure data almost always underrepresents the true scale of neurodiversity in your workforce. On average, we discover 4x more neurodivergent talent than internal data indicates because employees have not yet felt safe enough to be fully honest. Your internal figures tell you what people were willing to share, not what's actually there.

We already have a neurodiversity policy. Do we still need an audit?

Having a policy is not the same as knowing whether it is working. The audit tells you whether your policy is translating into real, day-to-day support or simply sitting in a handbook.

Will the audit uncover our legal risk?

The audit is designed to measure your legal risk and offer solutions. By identifying gaps in your reasonable adjustments, recruitment practices and management capability, you are in a far stronger position to demonstrate compliance with the Equality Act 2010.

How long does the audit take?

It depends on the size and complexity of your organisation. Following an initial scoping conversation, we provide a clear timeline tailored to your specific needs and objectives.

Is the employee survey anonymous?

Yes. Confidentiality is fundamental to how the audit works and a key reason our engagement and disclosure rates are significantly higher than those from standard internal data collection methods.

What do we receive at the end of the audit?

A comprehensive Audit report outlining your strengths, identifying gaps and highlighting compliance and retention risks, alongside a prioritised action plan with evidence-based recommendations across policy, environment, management and culture.

What if our employees are reluctant to participate?

Low participation is usually a symptom of low trust, which is exactly why Change Management comes first. By the time the survey is deployed, your workforce understands the purpose and feels confident their responses will be used to support them.
