In this second and final bonus episode of #TheEquityEdge we focus on disability and neurodiversity in Engineering. Hosts Professor Sue Black OBE and Jo Stansfield are joined by Martin Griffin, Geotechnical Engineer and award-winning EDI champion for advocacy for disability and neurodiversity inclusion, Chair of Ably Different, a member of the group of IOM3, the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, Co-Chair of the EqualEngineers neurodiversity network, and Vice President of the Geological Society with responsibility for EDI.
The discussion begins with acknowledging that disability can sometimes be described as a forgotten dimension of diversity, and raises the issue of whether equity, diversity and inclusion programs are fully including disabled and neurodiverse people.
We look at what businesses need to be aware of for the inclusion and accessibility for their disabled and neurodiverse employees and consider the importance of reasonable adjustments . Martin recommends support for employers to adopt to ensure they become disability and neurodivergent inclusive, and how to adopt a more inclusive culture at work, whether in the
process of change or just starting out.
