Neurodiversity short film & dramas

The short film version and three individual dramas are now available to download from the Members’ Resource Centre – a brief summary below:

Neurodiversity is the idea that there is naturally occurring variation in the way our brains work, which can impact how we interact with other people, how we process information, our attention, mood, coordination and other brain functions. Although the term ‘neurodiversity’ technically includes both neurodivergent and neurotypical thinkers, it is commonly associated with certain conditions or neuro differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, dyspraxia, autism, Tourette’s syndrome and others.

Our short film is designed as an introduction to neurodiversity in the workplace. It looks at both the strengths that neurodivergent thinkers can bring, the challenges they may face, and explores strategies and inclusive practices for creating conditions and environments that enable neurodivergent people to engage and thrive.

What is neurodiversity?

Neurodiversity is the term that refers to the naturally occurring variation in the way our brains work. It is commonly associated with a series of conditions or differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, dyspraxia, autism and others.

Includes

Interviews with neurodivergent individuals on their personal experiences. Short scenario clips and interactive polls on what we can do to support neurodivergent people in each example.

Coming soon… Compliance Suites

In December 2021, Skill Boosters became part of Marlowe Plc, a leader in business-critical services and software. Since then, we have been busy exploring the e-learning offerings within the Marlowe group and are excited to let you know that we have formed a partnership with our sister company VinciWorks who specialise in online compliance training and risk management software.

As a result, from August, we will be able to provide you with access to preview two suites of e-learning courses (Compliance Fundamentals and Cyber and Data Awareness) through our Members’ Resource Centre (MRC). These suites contain 51 carefully selected courses from their range of 200. They are not included within your membership licensing plan fee, but they will be made available for you to preview through the MRC whenever you wish.

From our knowledge, compliance budgets sometimes sit with alternative contacts within an organisation, so we would welcome the opportunity for your colleagues to preview, and provide a quote when your current compliance licence contract is due for renewal. Like the Skill Boosters courses, you will be able to download direct from our MRC if you do license one or both of the suites, giving you access to a broader range of courses all in one place.

If you are interested in the costs for our compliance suites, then please drop us an email, even just to compare with your current supplier. If the compliance topic of interest is not available in the two published suites, then do let us know as we have access to a broader range of topics from our sister company VinciWorks.
