Member Rate £69.00 + VAT

Overview
Neurodivergent apprentices are part of every programme — but too often, support is inconsistent, reactive, or reliant on individual staff goodwill.
This practical, solutions-focused webinar shows you how to embed neuroinclusive practice by design, so inclusion becomes a consistent and reliable part of the apprenticeship journey — not an afterthought.
Building on foundational understanding, this session focuses on what to do differently in day-to-day delivery. You’ll explore how small, intentional changes to learning design, coaching approaches, assessment methods and communication systems can significantly improve apprentice engagement, wellbeing and achievement.
