Community inclusion learning
Free neurodiversity training for leisure and culture providers
Free online training is available to leisure and culture providers to help make spaces across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight more inclusive for neurodivergent people.
Commissioned by the NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board (ICB), this e-learning was developed in direct response to feedback from the Parent and Carer Network, who highlighted that many leisure and cultural venues are not accessible to neurodivergent people and their families.
The e-learning will be available for all local leisure and culture providers until March 2026.
