Neurodiversity Network at TransPennine Express
In the UK, one in seven people are neurodivergent, meaning that 15 percent of Britain’s population is part of this group. Neurodivergent means that a person’s brain may function, process and learn information in a different way from someone who is “neurotypical”.
TransPennine Express (TPE) announced the official launch of their ‘Neurodiversity Network Group’ as part of the trailblazing TPE Week of Inclusion in January 2024.
TPE’s Neurodiversity Network Group has ten founding members, who live with conditions such as ADHD, autism, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and dyslexia. The group will share their experiences living with neurodiversity, encourage other colleagues to join, raise awareness for adjustments that can be made for colleagues and future applicants, and help guide TPE on how to be a more inclusive employer.
As a Level 2 Disability Confident Employer, TPE provides colleagues with Neurodiversity Training delivered by The Brain Trust in a bid to best support current colleagues and raise awareness of the reasonable adjustments available.
