A neuroinclusion audit helps organisations understand how neuroinclusion is currently being experienced across the workplace, where barriers may be sitting and where meaningful improvement is most needed. It is a practical way to move from assumption to evidence, giving leaders clearer insight into what is helping, what is getting in the way and what needs to happen next.

We audit your space, experience, flow and more not just for employees, but also for customers, applicants, guests, passengers, athletes.

What we audit:

A Neuro Tide neuroinclusion audit can look at the spaces, processes, communication, documents, systems and everyday journeys that shape how people access, understand and experience your organisation.

Depending on your setting, this may include lighting, noise, acoustics, temperature, layout, signage, wayfinding, entrances, car parks, meeting rooms, workstations, reception areas, waiting spaces, learning spaces, public areas, staff areas, digital systems, written information, forms, policies, recruitment processes, onboarding, communication, management practice and the overall experience of using your organisation.

We look at neuroinclusion through the real-world lens of the people who interact with you. That may include employees, job applicants, customers, clients, passengers, students, guests, visitors, athletes, patients, service users, families, contractors or volunteers.

The aim is simple, which is to understand where the experience is clear, accessible and supportive, and where friction, confusion, sensory load, uncertainty or unnecessary barriers may be making access, participation or performance harder than it needs to be.

Why a neuroinclusion audit is valuable:

Many organisations care about neuroinclusion, but do not yet have a clear view of what is working well, where gaps exist or how experience differs across the workplace or wider organisation. A neuroinclusion audit brings that picture into focus so decisions can be made with greater confidence.

It helps move conversations away from guesswork and towards evidence:

Instead of relying on assumptions, isolated feedback or broad inclusion statements, an audit gives you practical insight into the environments, processes and everyday interactions that may be helping people thrive, or quietly making things harder than they need to be.

For organisations that want to improve neurodiversity inclusion, employee experience, recruitment, customer access, workplace design or service quality, an audit gives you a clearer starting point and a more focused route forward.

Why we audit beyond the obvious:

Neuroinclusion is rarely shaped by one single feature. It is often shaped by how different details combine across a journey, a task, a space or a working day.

A meeting room might look suitable at first glance, but the lighting may be harsh, the acoustics may create unnecessary strain, the seating may increase sensory discomfort, the screen position may affect processing, or the layout may make participation harder. A car park may seem separate from inclusion, but arrival, signage, lighting, noise, space, uncertainty and navigation can all affect how someone feels before they even enter the building.

Neuroinclusion sits everywhere:

The same applies to recruitment, documents, websites, emails, policies, interviews, training rooms, reception areas, customer journeys, public spaces and everyday management practice.

That is why Neuro Tide audits from multiple angles. We look at place, process, communication, experience and behaviour together, because neuroinclusion is about how people actually experience the whole organisation, not just whether one isolated feature appears to be in place.

What a neuroinclusion audit can look at:

Depending on scope, a Neuro Tide neuroinclusion audit can review your physical environment, employee experience, customer or visitor journey, recruitment process, written communication, digital systems, management practice, policies, procedures, learning environments, public-facing spaces and wider organisational habits.

We also look at how these elements interact. A space may be physically accessible but cognitively confusing. A document may be accurate but hard to read. A process may be fair in intention but unclear in practice. A meeting room may be available but not genuinely supportive for different processing, communication and sensory needs.

The audit helps identify what is working, what is creating unnecessary barriers and what practical changes could make the biggest difference.

Aligned with BSI Design for the Mind, and built from lived audit experience:

Neuro Tide’s neuroinclusion audit approach aligns with the principles of BSI PAS 6463: Design for the Mind, which provides guidance on designing and managing environments that better support people with sensory and neurological processing differences.

But our work does not stop at the built environment.

We were auditing neuroinclusion before the BSI guidance was introduced, and our approach has always looked beyond a single room, feature or checklist.

We consider the wider journey, including how people arrive, understand information, move through spaces, communicate, make decisions, attend meetings, complete tasks, ask for support and experience the organisation in real life.

That means we can review both the visible and less visible parts of neuroinclusion: the environment, the process, the information, the culture and the lived experience.

A clearer Neuroinclusion Score:

A Neuro Tide audit goes further by giving a clear Neuroinclusion Score, helping you understand not only what has been observed, but how neuroinclusive each area, feature or element appears to be.

Depending on the scope of the audit, this may include scored insight across areas such as lighting, acoustics, wayfinding, readability, arrival experience, meeting rooms, workspaces, customer journeys, recruitment stages, document accessibility, sensory load, communication clarity and overall experience.

This gives leaders a more practical view of priority. Instead of receiving a long list of observations without direction, you can see where the strongest foundations are, where the biggest barriers may be sitting and which changes are likely to have the most meaningful impact.

The score helps turn insight into action. It gives your organisation a clearer baseline, a more focused improvement plan and a way to track progress over time.

WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH:

A strong neuroinclusion audit should leave you with more than observations. It should give you a clearer understanding of your current position, a grounded sense of priority and practical recommendations that help you decide what to do next.

With Neuro Tide, you leave with evidence-led insight into what is working well, where barriers may be sitting and which changes could make the biggest difference to clarity, access, confidence, wellbeing, participation and performance.

Depending on scope, your audit can include scored findings, practical recommendations, priority areas, quick wins, longer-term actions and a clearer roadmap for improving neuroinclusion across your organisation.

Leaving no stone unturned:

NEUROINCLUSION IS IN THE DETAIL:

It can be shaped by the brightness of a corridor, the wording of a sign, the layout of a form, the noise in a waiting area, the predictability of an interview, the feel of a meeting room, the clarity of an email, the route from the car park, the way information is sequenced or the confidence of a manager having a conversation.

That is why our audits are thorough. We look closely, listen carefully and connect the detail back to practical action.

The smallest changes can make the biggest difference to neuroinclusion, wellbeing and performance, but only when organisations know where those changes are needed.

We can help you understand your current position, identify hidden and visible barriers, and shape a clearer roadmap for practical neuroinclusion improvement.

Whether you want to improve your workplace, recruitment process, customer experience, visitor journey, employee experience or public-facing environment, a Neuro Tide neuroinclusion audit can help you move forward with clearer evidence, stronger priorities and practical next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions.

  • A neuroinclusion audit is a structured review of how neuroinclusion is currently experienced and supported across a workplace, service, process or environment. It helps organisations understand what is working well, where barriers may exist and what practical improvements could make the biggest difference.

  • Because an audit can reveal strengths, barriers, inconsistencies and practical priorities that are not always visible through assumption alone. It gives leaders clearer evidence, stronger direction and a more confident starting point for improving neurodiversity inclusion.

  • A neuroinclusion audit can cover workplace environments, communication, systems, policy, recruitment, management practice, employee experience, customer journeys, visitor experience, documents, digital systems and public-facing spaces. The scope can be shaped around your organisation and the people who use, visit or work within it.

  • You receive clearer insight into your current position and practical recommendations to support next steps. Depending on the scope, this may include scored findings, priority areas, quick wins, longer-term actions and a roadmap for improving neuroinclusion.

  • Yes. Scope and focus can be shaped around your workplace, priorities, people, setting and organisational needs. The audit can focus on employees, applicants, customers, guests, passengers, students, visitors, service users or any other group that interacts with your organisation.

  • No. A Neuro Tide neuroinclusion audit can look at physical places, digital systems, documents, recruitment, communication, employee experience, customer journeys, policies, processes and wider organisational practice. The scope depends on what your organisation needs to understand.

  • Yes. Our built-environment audit work aligns with BSI PAS 6463: Design for the Mind, while also going further by considering wider workplace, customer, applicant, employee, visitor and organisational experience.
