Case Consultation ↓

Specialist perspective when a workplace situation needs careful thought.

Some workplace situations do not need another general training session. They need focused time, careful consideration and a clear understanding of the context.

Neuroinclusion case consultation supports HR teams, People leaders and managers navigating a specific situation involving neurodiversity, workplace barriers, communication, performance, reasonable adjustments or employee support.

The purpose is to examine what is happening, challenge assumptions and identify a more informed route forward.

Discuss a workplace situation

When general guidance is not enough

A situation may have become sensitive, uncertain or difficult to separate into neat categories. There may be questions about:

Whether expectations have been communicated clearly.
How workplace barriers may be affecting performance.
What reasonable adjustment options could be considered.
How to respond to a disclosure or request for support.
Where manager responsibility ends and HR involvement begins.
How to approach return-to-work or role-transition planning.
Whether a workplace assessment could add useful evidence.
How team impact and individual circumstances can both be considered.
Whether several different support routes may be relevant.

Case consultation provides dedicated space to work through these factors before decisions become fixed.

Build a fuller picture before deciding what happens next

Complex situations can become harder when one explanation is accepted too quickly.

A consultation can help you consider:

What is known

The observable events, role expectations, information already shared and steps taken so far.

What remains unclear

Areas where assumptions, incomplete communication or different accounts may be influencing understanding.

What workplace barriers may be present

Aspects of the role, environment, workload, communication or process that may be contributing to the situation.

What support has been considered

Adjustments, management approaches, workplace assessments or other forms of specialist input.

What responsibilities need attention

The appropriate roles of the manager, HR, the colleague and any other relevant parties.

What a proportionate next step could be

An action that is thoughtful, workable and aligned with the circumstances rather than a generic response.

Situations case consultation may support

Neuro Tide can help organisations think through matters involving:

Reasonable adjustment requests or reviews.
Communication breakdowns.
Performance or capability concerns.
Role clarity and conflicting expectations.
Return to work following absence.
Changes in role, structure or working arrangements.
Manager uncertainty.
Team relationships and ways of working.
Implementation of workplace assessment recommendations.
Situations involving several stakeholders or responsibilities.
Questions about which specialist support route should come next.

Each conversation is shaped around the workplace, role, people involved and decisions under consideration.

How neuroinclusion case consultation works

A one-off focused consultation

A defined conversation around a specific situation or decision.

A review at core stages

Further consultation as the situation develops or new information becomes available.

Regular access for HR or People teams

Continued specialist perspective across an agreed period.

Input following training or an audit

Focused support where a wider programme has highlighted a particular need.

Support alongside a workplace assessment

Consultation to help managers and HR consider recommendations and implementation.

The format should reflect the complexity of the situation and the level of continued input required.

Clear boundaries for responsible consultation

Case consultation provides a specialist workplace neuroinclusion perspective.

It does not replace your internal HR responsibilities, occupational health input, clinical assessment, safeguarding responsibilities or independent legal advice.

We help you identify relevant considerations, improve the quality of the questions being asked and recognise where further evidence or specialist involvement may be required.

Personal information should be shared only where appropriate, necessary and agreed. Anonymised discussion may be suitable in many circumstances.

Case consultation or manager drop-in support?

Manager drop-in sessions work well for focused questions, early guidance and day-to-day management application. Click here to explore manager drop-in sessions.

Case consultation is more suitable where a situation involves greater complexity, several stakeholders, competing responsibilities or a need to examine the context in greater depth.

Neuro Tide can help you identify which route is proportionate.

Share the broad context and we will help you decide whether case consultation is the appropriate starting point.
