Diversity & Inclusion Talks
Today we were lucky enough to welcome J Grange to Scarborough HQ to talk to our colleagues about the importance of Neurodiversity in the workplace. It was a really thought provoking conversation, filled with honesty and passion – which sparked a lot of conversation within the room! I loved it when he said that we need different minds for the world to operate the way it does and that it wouldn’t be ‘normal’ for everyone to think the same. It’s left me with lots of food for thought about how our hiring practices can be more suited to neurodivergent candidates!

J Grange and I met at a conference jointly run by the Children’s Mental Health Coalition and the School Wellbeing Partnership. I so enjoyed his presentation about what as a neurodiverse young person who was twice permanently excluded from school wishes his teachers had known about neurodiversity. Since then J has worked with both students, staff and parents across trust schools in Unity Schools Partnership and spoken to most of our senior 200 school staff. His contribution has been significant and been highly valued by both staff, children and parents.

J is a very positive role model and having worked with him before I can confirm that he is very passionate about inclusion of neurodiversity. He is an inspiring speaker using a mixture of his lived experiences as well as facts and figures so he appeals to a wide range of people. J is also extremely empathetic meaning that people open up to him and share their own lived experiences and I highlight recommend him as an expert speaker on the topic. J spoke to my team with such passion . You can tell why he is such a respected speaker. He is so passionate about what he does and you can tell how genuine he is. J uses his past experiences to make life better for others.
