Charity leaders want to support their people and create inclusive workplaces. But you must also manage performance, maintain services and make responsible decisions about limited resources.

When an employee is neurodivergent, or may have an underlying condition affecting their work, managers can be unsure what they can say, what support they should provide and when formal action is appropriate.

How far should you adjust a role? What if an adjustment is unaffordable or places more pressure on the wider team? Can you still address performance concerns? And if the situation cannot be resolved, can you fairly dismiss a neurodivergent employee?

This 60-minute webinar will explore practical steps to help you act earlier, handle sensitive conversations more confidently and make consistent, lower-risk decisions.

What you'll learn:

• When neurodivergence may create employment law responsibilities, including where there is no formal diagnosis

• How to assess whether a reasonable adjustment is practical and affordable for your charity

• How to balance individual needs with service delivery, management capacity and the impact on colleagues

• How to address performance or conduct concerns and give constructive feedback

• What to consider when adjustments and support do not lead to the required improvement

• When formal action may be appropriate and when to seek specialist advice

What you'll gain:

By the end of the webinar, you will have:

• A practical framework for considering reasonable adjustments
