Neurodiversity & Inclusion Audits.
See the barriers. Know the score. Move with confidence.
Neuro Tide’s neurodiversity and neuroinclusion audits help HR leaders, recruiters, talent acquisition teams, senior leadership teams and estates teams see where workplaces, processes and culture are helping, and where they are quietly working against neurodivergent colleagues and applicants.
We combine lived experience, UK standards and practical workplace expertise to give you a clear Neuro Tide neuroinclusion score, detailed findings and a focused roadmap so you can remove hidden barriers, reduce risk and support every mind to do its best work.
You can choose the neuroinclusion score as a standalone service, or as a core part of a full neuroinclusion audit.
Why Neuroinclusion Audits Matter.
You Can’t Fix What You Can’t See.
Most organisations want to be supportive and fair, but:
Don’t have a clear picture of how neuroinclusive their workplaces, processes and culture truly are.
Rely on individual stories or complaints instead of systematic insight.
Struggle to prioritise what to change first and how to show progress.
A Neuro Tide Neuroinclusion Audit Gives You:
A structured, evidence based view of what’s working and what isn’t.
A neuroinclusion score you can track and explain.
Practical, prioritised recommendations for HR, senior leaders and estates.
Beyond Compliance, Towards Calm, Confident Workplaces
This isn’t just about ticking a box for the Equality Act or accessibility.
Our audits help you:
Reduce the risk of grievances, presenteeism and burnout.
Support retention of neurodivergent talent and critical roles.
Create calmer, more predictable working environments.
Show regulators, boards and colleagues that you’re acting with care and intent.
What Our Neuroinclusion Audits Cover:
We tailor each audit to your organisation, but typical focus areas include:
-

1: Workspaces, Estates, & Physical Environments.
For offices, contact centres, hybrid spaces and operational sites we look at all elements including:
• Sensory load, Including full spectrum of all the senses such as light, sound, movement, smell, visual clutter, vestibular and proprioception.
• Wayfinding, signage and information clarity.
• Layout, zoning and quiet/concentration space.
• Breakout areas and recovery spaces.
• Accessibility of meeting rooms, reception, entrances and exits.
We align with BSI PAS 6463: Design for the Mind and other relevant standards, so estates teams can link recommendations directly to their plans and budgets.

2: Policies, Processes & Culture.
We review core elements and beyond such as:
• Recruitment, onboarding and probation.
• Performance management, feedback and progression across the employee life cycle. .
• Adjustments processes and how they work in practice.

3: Digital, Customer & Service Experiences
For some organisations, we also audit:
• Digital tools and platforms used day-to-day.
• Customer journeys, e.g. contact centres, front-of-house.
• Learning platforms and internal communications.
If a person interacts with something, we can audit to measure its neuroinclusivity, and provide feedback and practical guidance.
The goal is always the same: Reduce cognitive and sensory load, and make it easier for every brain to navigate your organisation.
The Neuro Tide Neuroinclusion Score.
A Clear, Comparable Neuroinclusion Score.
As part of every audit, or as a standalone service we provide a clear, comparable neuroinclusion score.
We assess each agreed element, for example, a workspace, meeting room, process or policy, against clear neuroinclusive criteria and rate it as either:
Not neuroinclusive.
Partially neuroinclusive.
Neuroinclusive.
These ratings are converted into a percentage score, so you can quickly see:
Overall neuroinclusion score for a site, team or process.
Scores for specific elements, e.g. lighting, acoustics, wayfinding, communication, documentation.
For example:
Overall site neuroinclusion: 70%
Meeting rooms overall: 83%
Lighting in meeting rooms: 41%
Wayfinding and signage: 86%
Use Neuroinclusion Score as Standalone Service.
If you’re not ready for a full audit, you can commission the Neuro Tide neuroinclusion score as a standalone service.
In this option, we:
Agree the spaces, processes or documents to assess.
Use our scoring framework to rate neuroinclusion across core dimensions.
Provide a score-only report with short explanations and priority recommendations.
This is ideal if you:
Need a starting point and baseline.
Want to compare a small number of locations or processes.
Need a clear indicator for boards, regulators or internal business cases.
Include the Score as Part of a Full Audit.
In a full neuroinclusion audit, your neuroinclusion score is integrated into:
A detailed written report.
Visual scorecards and dashboards.
A clear action plan with quick wins, medium-term, longer-term actions.
This makes it easier to prioritise, communicate and track progress.
We recommend pairing your audit with a Neuro Tide neuroinclusion insights survey so you can:
Compare observed barriers with what colleagues report.
Understand differences between neurodivergent and neurotypical employees.
See how experiences vary across teams, roles and locations.
Optional One-to-One Conversations:
For a deeper layer of insight, we can also offer optional confidential one-to-one conversations with colleagues.
Themes from these conversations are anonymised and added to your audit findings and survey data, highlighting:
Lived experiences behind the scores.
Specific adjustments and changes that would make a real difference.
How Our Neuroinclusion Audits Work.
A Clear, Supported Process.
A typical neuroinclusion audit includes four main stages:
What You Receive
Clear, Practical Outputs You Can Act On
Every audit gives you:
A Neuro Tide neuroinclusion score for each agreed space or process. An overall neuroinclusion score for the site or scope.
A written report with:
Core strengths.
Core risks and gaps.
Priority recommendations, (quick wins, medium-term, longer-term).
Visual score summaries for senior leaders and estates.
A debrief session with time for questions and planning.
Support Beyond the Report.
We can also support you to:
Translate findings into estates, HR and leadership plans.
Design or refine your neuroinclusion strategy and roadmap.
Deliver training for HR, managers and colleagues linked to audit findings.
Re-score over time to track progress and show impact.
HR, Recruiters, Talent Acquisition, Senior Leadership and Estates Working Together.
Who Our Audits Are For.
Our neuroinclusion audits are designed for organisations who want a joined-up view across:
HR & People Teams: Policy, process, people experience.
Senior Leadership & Boards: Risk, culture, performance and reputation.
Estates & Workplace Teams: Buildings, layouts, sensory environments, wayfinding.
DEI, L&D and Culture Teams: Training, communication, capability-building.
We help you bring these perspectives together into one shared, practical picture.

Case study
Mark Charlesworth, Neuro Tide’s founder, led a comprehensive neurodiversity neuroinclusion audit for UKRI (ESPRC). through research, interviews, site observations, and policy analysis, he identified barriers in events, communications, workshops, and internal practices. The resulting guidance now supports neuroinclusive meetings and workshops across the research council, influencing national level inclusion standards and practices.
