The next EDI Community of Practice on Tue 27 August 2024 will be addressing how youth workers can best support young people who are neurodiverse. This session will be mix of speakers and interactive discussion groups.

They will be joined by Scottish Autism who will set the scene around neurodiversity, what it means, and what language is most appropriate to use.

Borders Additional Needs Group (BANG) will demonstrate what supportive youth work looks like in reality, sharing some of their practice and insights.

Finally, we will be hearing from Education Scotland on the existing frameworks, such as the Inclusion, Wellbeing and Equality Framework and how you can use this to inform your practice.

There will also be the opportunity to take part in some break-out room discussion groups, where you can share your own experiences and discuss practice with other participants.
