DOWNLOAD : Our 4S Manifesto and handy User Guide
To help your journey to supporting the Neurodiverse, we share the original manifesto in full, along with ideas, considerations and questions to consider to make it practical and bring the 4S' to life!
As you probably would have guessed by now, the 4S manifesto is our call to action to encourage media associated companies to consider 4 key areas :
SYSTEMS to enable differences in ways of working, with adjustments, for your team to thrive.
SPACES that work for the neurodivergent talent to do their best work, from noise cancelling booths, to collaboration zones and breakout spaces.
SAFETY for all types of people to be themselves at work without bias or reprimand; to be comfortable to unmask and be confident in their day to day.
&
SUPPORT from tools and processes to human, pastoral care, or simply being there if things get tough.
There is more context in the full manifesto, as well as guidance in each section, ideas and hopefully inspiration. It is from ND colleagues FOR ND colleagues. It is not necessary exhaustive but we know it is a starting point for many to jump off. A lot may be alreayd in place, some likely not, but if it encourages us all to think about this in a new way from our perspective, it has been worth it. If you have anything you think we could add in the existing sections, please shout too.
