Neurodiversity at Hachette UK
Hachette UK launched a Neurodiversity Policy in April 2023 setting out a framework to “support and nurture” its neurodivergent colleagues, contributors and publishing.
Created in line with Hachette UK’s Changing the Story diversity and inclusion initiative, the policy provides Hachette UK staff with an outline of what neurodiversity can look like, as well as the support available to neurodiverse colleagues.
In 2020, Hachette UK became the first publisher to win a British Dyslexia Association (BDA) Smart Award, in recognition of its efforts to promote good practice and support the needs of dyslexic and neurodiverse individuals. This included creating a set of guidelines for producing dyslexia-friendly texts and workplaces, which was written by Hachette UK’s Accessibility Network and Jessica Kingsley Publishers, in consultation with the BDA. In support of its accessibility commitment, Hachette UK also formed an Accessible Content Subgroup in 2021, which produces and delivers learning and development resources, as well as training and educational documentation, to Hachette UK staff to further the awareness and understanding of accessibility within the workplace.
