Avon and Somerset Police – how to create an inclusive environment

We are delighted to be joined by Kate Baxter, Bill Hiller and Neil Wyman from Avon and Somerset Police, as they share with us their Disability Smart Award-winning work.

They created a unique custodial environment for people with sensory needs, with some solutions at a low cost, that could be easily implemented within your organisation.

They will discuss why they introduced this, what they did and the enhancements they have seen from it. When we think about inclusion, everyone benefits.

Neurodiversity and Policing

Neurodiversity is about us all but understanding how to support people who think, process, act and communicate in different ways from the ‘average’ expectations in a police setting means that they can utilise their skills and talents.

Amanda Kirby from Do-IT Profiler will describe the rationale in a police setting, what tools are available and how they can be best used.

This event will operate using the ‘Chatham House’ rule.
