Episode Synopsis "Inclusive Futures"
Welcome to episode three of Outside of the Box, Inclusive Futures. In this edition, we are going to examine career opportunities and challenges faced by neurodiverse people in the workplace. We will also be talking to some very special guests who have achieved in highly competitive sectors. Daniel Wakeford is a singer-songwriter from Brighton with autism. His career got a boost after appearing on the Channel 4 programme ‘The Undaterables’. His band The Daniel Wakeford Experience have played headline tours at venues across the UK. Dan Pepper is a double IPC World Para Swimming champion. However, Dan missed out on his best opportunity to add some Paralympic titles to his impressive career in the pool to due a blanket ban on athletes with an intellectual disability, which was imposed after the scandal of the Spanish basketball team who included players without a disability in their team to cheat their way to a gold medal at the 2000 Games. We’ll also be finding out about some of the support that is available to help neurodiverse people into the workplace with Caroline Morgan from the charity Pure Innovations. Your hosts are Ben, Cameron & Josh from Digital Advantage's Step Up programme.
