Neurodiversity Champions
Neurodiversity Champions
Our differences don't have to divide us. Together, we can make Warwick a more inclusive place for everyone, where diverse thinking styles are recognised and valued as strengths.
We believe that understanding leads to better collaboration and innovation.

- Do you work with or manage neurodivergent colleagues and want to build better understanding and communication?
- Are you simply curious and want to learn more?
No matter the question, we're here for you!
