#NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek cannot just be a token gesture We need to make sure we continue celebrating neurodiversity and recognise the capabilities and skill sets neurodivergent people bring to the workplace We do this by working with both jobseekers and employers

If you work for a Minority Ethnic led organisation or with Minority Ethnic communities @SEMA_Scot is running a series of events next week on the Learning Disability, Autism & Neurodiversity Bill to help make sure the experiences of Minority Ethnic autistic people are represented

@DSScotland 😋 Mmm looks delicious 🌭

This week we are celebrating the many talents of our community! Here's Matilda and her friend Naomi making homemade sausage rolls. Not only do they have lots of fun making these videos for TikTok, they are also making great steps forward independent life skills. Great job girls!
