Buckland review supporting Neurodivergent people
Led by Sir Robert Buckland KC MP
Access to adjustments is still highly variable, with the onus usually on the autistic employee to identify and advocate for adjustments.
Around one third of autistic employees felt unable to discuss their adjustment needs at all, and of those who did request adjustments, over a quarter were refused and more than 1 in 10 found the adjustment was poorly implemented.

Equality Act
Even if they do not have a diagnosis, employees can still get help.
- As of 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022 the access to work fund is £62,900
- You do not need to be "disabled" to get access to the £63,000 a yearly fund.
- An employee does not need a diagnosis to be considered disabled under the Equality Act 2010.
- An employer should offer employees support whether or not they have a diagnosis for their neurodivergence. This includes making reasonable adjustments.
- An employer might ask an employee for proof that they have a condition. For example, an NHS letter confirming a diagnosis.
- However, an employee:
- is not legally required to provide this
- might not have any proof they can give
- might have their own reasons for not sharing a diagnosis
Even if they do not have a diagnosis, employees might have neurodivergent characteristics. And this could mean they need support at work.
