Sionic staff complete Autism Awareness training
The latest organisation to undertake our CPD accredited Autism Awareness training this week was Sionic, a leading supplier of business, operations and people development services to the world’s major banks and financial institutions.
To help organisations become more autism friendly, we've worked with autistic people to create the Sycamore Trust Autism Training Services. This makes organisations, businesses and public services more accessible for autistic people and their families. Thanks to the pandemic, our presentations now take place over Zoom and Teams although we hope to return to face to face work at some stage in 2022.
Sycamore Trust UK is registered with the CPD Standards Office as an accredited provider of CPD training, meaning that anyone undertaking our training can earn points towards their Continuing Professional Development.
The Sionic presentation took place this week to a large group of enthusiastic members of staff from Sionic.
George Holman, director of Sionic, said;
"The autism awareness training provided to us by the The Sycamore Trust gave us a fantastic insight into how we might support the needs of individuals with autism. I am genuinely looking forward to embedding some of the hints, tips and best practices into our ways of working at Sionic – and would highly recommend this training to any organisation looking to explore this important area when it comes to diversity and inclusion.”
Sycamore's Steve Dixon said;
“We were delighted to provide our CPD-accredited Autism Awareness Training to the staff at Sionic. As Autism is defined as a hidden disability, it is often overlooked, and it was a pleasure to present to an attentive group of people who were clearly engaged with the subject matter and keen to find out more. We hope that in the future, many more organisations adopt a similar approach to Sionic and view neurodiversity as a strength, rather than a weakness.”
