This research seminar is open to members of the West Midlands Social Work Teaching Partnership. Please see below our Partner organisations.
Join us for a research seminar led by Lisa Richey, a practitioner-researcher from East Sussex County Council, exploring the experiences of neurodivergent professionals within the social work sector. Drawing on qualitative research conducted between 2023 and 2025, Lisa will share emerging findings from interviews with current and former social workers, as well as managers, to better understand how neurodivergence is experienced and supported in the workplace.
The seminar will cover key themes identified through the research, including:
Training and professional development
Use of technology
Organisational culture
