Supply Chain Advice Pack: Neurodiversity and Retrofit – Residents

Introduction

Neurodiversity refers to the natural variation in how people think, learn, and process information. In the UK, it is estimated that around 15–20% of the population are neurodivergent, equating to approximately 13 million people. Within this group, employment rates are lower for neurodivergent individuals, which suggests that the proportion of residents eligible for Warm Homes–funded retrofit may be higher than the general 15–20% estimate.

This advice pack offers practical solutions for working with neurodivergent residents, to embed neuro-inclusive practices in your resident engagement.
