At DAS, we believe that an inclusive workplace enables everyone to contribute their best. Diversity of thought, experience, and ability strengthens our capacity to serve the children, families, and communities we support.
We will recognise and value diversity among our staff, understanding that different learning, communication, and working styles strengthen our collective capacity to serve others.
We will uphold inclusion as a shared organisational value, ensuring that empathy, respect, and equity guide how we work with one another and with the communities we serve.
We will foster a workplace culture where employees feel safe to disclose neurodiversity and discuss their needs without fear of stigma or disadvantage.
We will commit to understanding the individual needs of employees, so that support, supervision, and work expectations can be meaningfully aligned.
We will design work processes and environments that are flexible and accessible, enabling staff with varied strengths and needs to perform effectively and confidently.
We will promote continuous learning for supervisors and colleagues to develop awareness and practical strategies for supporting neurodiverse and differently-abled employees.
We will take a strengths-based approach to staff development, focusing on empowering employees to use their capabilities fully while addressing areas of need through appropriate support.
We will maintain clear and fair performance expectations, and enable employees to meet these through thoughtful job design, coaching, and accommodations where needed.
We will review our HR policies and practices regularly to identify and reduce barriers to inclusion across recruitment, onboarding, and performance management.
We will periodically review the effectiveness of our neurodiversity-inclusive measures, seek feedback from staff, and adjust policies to continuously improve accessibility and inclusion.
Inclusion is a continuous process of learning and improvement. We welcome feedback and ideas from our staff and partners on how we can strengthen our inclusive practices and continue building a workplace where everyone feels valued and supported.
