Belong at Bridewell
A Community Celebrating Neurodiversity
What is the Neurodiversity Network?
The Neurodiversity Network provides a safe and supportive space for employees to connect, share experiences, and find resources to help them navigate challenges. We empower employees to advocate for their needs and access the services and support required to thrive. At Bridewell, we believe that diversity is our strength and that embracing and celebrating differences can help us achieve greatness together.
The group is not just for those with neurodiversity but is also here to support anyone that has a disability or friend/ family member with a disability who seeks support, should they not find it elsewhere.

FAQ's
Questions answered from Jayson Haynes, Head of The Neurodiversity Network.
What would you say to someone who’s neurodivergent and considering joining Bridewell?
Come as you are. At Bridewell, neurodiversity is celebrated and supported. Regardless of your cognitive differences, you’ll find a culture that respects and values you as a person, not as a label. We understand that all of our brains work in varied ways and Bridewell genuinely values the different perspective that comes with this. Our neurodiversity network exists primarily to champion this mindset. It’s a space where you can connect, share experiences, and find others who will both understand and lift you up.
What hopes do you have for the future of the Neurodiversity Network?
My hope is that the Neurodiversity network continues to develop on the foundations that it has already out in place in regards to support, empowerment and education. I’d love to see us continue to challenge stereotypes, break down stigma and encourage neurodiverse voices. Ultimately, as the network lead, I want those who are neurodiverse at Bridewell to not only feel accommodated for, but championed, to know they can succeed in their careers by utilising the strengths of their neurodiversity. The more we normalise different ways of thinking, communicating, and working, the stronger will become as a business.
