This introductory briefing is part of the council’s offer for Neurodiversity Week 2023. The workshop will be a fun, informative and interactive introduction to neurodiversity in the workplace and will look at what neurodiversity is and isn’t, what is means to be a neurominority, strengths of neurodiverse people, and how best to embrace and support neurodiversity in the workplace. We will focus on autism, ADHD and dyslexia, though there are, of course, other neurodiverse conditions.
We will be using an external website called www.menti.com a few times. I will ask you to go to this website and enter a code I will give you, to complete a simple task, such as entering three words for a live word cloud. I will support you with this if you need any help.
For a more detailed exploration of this topic, try the ‘Neurodiversity At Work Awareness’ course, which offers practical strategies for the workplace.

This course offers an overview of the neurodiverse profile and practical ideas for the workplace so that you can work at your best. This course is for all staff who would like to gain a better understanding of neurodiversity, and is one of our suite of equality, diversity and inclusion courses.

- What causes ‘neurodiversity’?

By the end of the course participants should gain a thorough overview of the neurodiverse profile and the implications of this for workplace performance.

This one-day course invites participants to query their own perceptions and perspectives and examine the impact on their relationships and working practises.
The trainer is an experienced psychotherapist, debriefer and coach.

Leadership and Management
|
|
At East Sussex Council, you work with the public, clients, suppliers and colleagues.
You give them the best services and information possible.
But sometimes, people do the wrong things and consequently there are occasional conflicts that need to be managed.
Many people don’t like handling conflict, because they don’t know how to do it.
We know that mismanaged conflict can be very costly.
Conflict situations need to be handled properly.
So, how can we best resolve conflicts; quickly, easily, and without too much negative emotion?
|
You will benefit from this course if:
- You have to handle strong, confident characters that you find difficult
- You sometimes “come on too strong” and thus make a bad situation, worse
- You sometimes evade and delay handling conflict in an attempt to “keep the peace”
- You believe that conflict can sometimes be based on miscommunication
- You think that if you say nothing the situation will resolve itself
- You wait and wait and wait....and then explode
- You are not sure when it is right and when it is NOT right, to compromise
If any of the above descriptions fit you, then you should attend this course
|
Rational conflict training
- We have designed this Rational conflict resolution training to teach correct conflict management principles.
- We will show you how to correctly manage any conflict situation.
- This training shows people how to deal with conflicts in a clear, rational, assertive, and professional manner.

Today retirement is more of a process rather than an event and this seminar provides a range of information and guidance for those who are approaching this time in their lives.
Your workplace might well be looking a little different at the moment, but there are still some things that stay very much the same.
Retirement, or early retirement, will be one of the biggest lifestyle changes, both financially and culturally, that we face; and planning ahead for this change will certainly help to make the transition easier, and indeed make this part of life something special to look forward to.
East Sussex County Council are working with Close Brothers to provide this valuable support if you are approaching this next chapter of life; whether that is in a few years, or perhaps even in just a few months, we would like to offer you access to a valuable set of tools within the new virtual retirement service, that will help you to think about and prepare for your future retirement.
You will have an opportunity to explore issues and discuss the range of opportunities available to you within a relaxed and informal atmosphere.
As a part of the booking, you will also be given access to an online virtual retirement hub full of information and downloadable resources, which you will be able to access at your own convenience.
|
|
This course is aimed at individuals who are retiring within the next 12 – 18 months. Attending the workshop prior to retirement may enable individuals to take greater advantage of the information provided.
|
During this course you will:
- gain an understanding of the impact of change on lifestyle, status and time
- explore options of using time effectively including volunteering, learning and leisure
- explore ways of maintaining health and wellbeing during retirement
