Learn about the purpose, principles and editorial standards of Neurodiversity Hub, including accessibility, AI use, privacy, external-link policy, corrections, participation and contact pathways.
Neurodiversity Hub is an independent knowledge and navigation platform that brings together reliable information, resources, organisations, projects, practices, events and opportunities related to neurodiversity.
The Hub is designed for neurodivergent people, children and young people, students, families, educators, researchers, employers, career professionals, health and support professionals, policymakers, NGOs and community groups.
The platform connects users to evidence-informed resources, official organisations, selected projects, inclusive education and employment practices, community pathways and current opportunities.
The Hub does not replace professional medical, psychological, legal, educational or employment advice. It is an information and signposting platform.
To improve access to reliable, inclusive and practical neurodiversity information and to connect people with resources, organisations, projects and opportunities that support participation, learning, work and wellbeing.
A society in which neurological differences are recognised, respected and supported, and where neurodivergent people can participate fully in education, employment and community life.
To become a trusted international gateway for neurodiversity knowledge, evidence, practice, collaboration and community participation.
Make high-quality neurodiversity information easier to find, understand and use.
Promote inclusive teaching, Universal Design for Learning, reasonable accommodations, accessible assessment and effective transitions.
Promote inclusive recruitment, workplace adjustments, neuroinclusive leadership and career development.
Direct users to official organisations, research centres, project platforms and evidence-informed resources.
Showcase transferable projects, case studies, innovations and practical tools.
Create pathways for lived experience, community contribution, collaboration and shared learning.
Encourage accessible digital content, communication and inclusive design.
Provide access to research, reports, policies, data and frameworks relevant to neurodiversity.
We recognise abilities, interests, talents and different ways of thinking rather than defining people only by difficulties or deficits.
We support dignity, autonomy, participation, accessibility, non-discrimination and equal opportunity.
We recognise neurological variation as part of human diversity while also acknowledging that some people may experience significant disability or require substantial support.
We prioritise official, academic, professional and recognised organisational sources.
Support needs, preferences and goals differ between individuals. We avoid one-size-fits-all assumptions.
We recognise that neurodivergent people may experience different outcomes depending on gender, age, disability, culture, socioeconomic circumstances and other factors.
The Hub aims to connect evidence with actionable guidance, tools, examples and implementation resources.
Content may include global, European, national and local perspectives where they add value.
Priority is given to official institutions, peer-reviewed research, recognised professional bodies, reputable NGOs, universities, public authorities and established project platforms.
Resources are selected for relevance, reliability, accessibility, usefulness, transferability and alignment with the Hub’s scope.
Where practical, links point directly to the original publication, project, organisation, course, event or official landing page.
Content is organised by topic, audience, resource type, programme and practical use.
When the same resource is relevant to several sections, it may appear in more than one navigation pathway but should retain a single authoritative external source.
Content may be reviewed, corrected, reclassified, replaced or removed when information becomes outdated, unavailable or no longer meets editorial standards.
Inclusion in the Hub does not imply endorsement, sponsorship or commercial preference unless explicitly stated.
Neurodiversity Hub aims to make its content usable by as many people as possible, including people with cognitive, sensory, motor and communication differences.
We aim for clear headings, readable layouts, sufficient contrast, predictable navigation, descriptive links, keyboard-friendly interaction and responsive design.
Where possible, information is presented in concise sections with clear labels and reduced unnecessary complexity.
Where practical, downloadable and visual materials should be accompanied by accessible text or equivalent information.
Accessibility of third-party websites and documents is outside the direct control of Neurodiversity Hub.
Users are encouraged to report accessibility barriers so that improvements can be considered.
Artificial intelligence may be used to support research organisation, drafting, summarisation, categorisation, translation, formatting and quality-control workflows.
AI-assisted content should be reviewed before publication when it contains factual, policy, health, legal, funding, event or time-sensitive information.
AI-generated statements should not replace source verification. Important factual claims should be checked against reliable sources.
AI content on the Hub must not be used to diagnose autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, DCD, Tourette syndrome or any other condition.
Where AI has materially contributed to substantial original content, the Hub may provide an appropriate disclosure where useful.
Sensitive personal information should not be entered into AI systems without an appropriate lawful and ethical basis.
AI outputs should be reviewed for stereotyping, deficit-based language, unsupported generalisations and exclusionary assumptions.
The Hub should collect only personal information that is necessary for a defined purpose.
Depending on site functionality, this may include contact details submitted through forms, newsletter subscriptions, contribution forms, technical logs or analytics data.
Personal data should be used only for the purpose communicated to the user.
Some functions may rely on external services such as analytics, email systems, embedded media or form providers. Their privacy practices may also apply.
Personal information should not be retained longer than necessary for the relevant purpose or legal obligation.
Applicable data-protection rights may include access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection and withdrawal of consent.
Privacy-related requests should be directed through the Contact section.
