Head of Employer Engagement Fiona Forrest-Anderson has joined the School of Arts & Creative Industries’ Pauline Miller Judd as a Trustee on the Board of The Donaldson Trust, highlighting Edinburgh Napier’s commitment to the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion agenda in respect of our neurodiverse staff and students.

Neurodiversity has a wide spectrum that covers a range of hidden neurological conditions, including Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Tourette’s and social anxiety.

Edinburgh Napier is proud of the neurodiverse colleagues and students who enrich our University community.

Fiona said, “It’s great for Edinburgh Napier to now have two seats on this Board. These roles are subject to rigorous recruitment and selection processes and reiterate the University’s continuing commitment to the many strands of Inclusion.

“It’s something Pauline and I are both incredibly passionate about and will enable us to raise awareness of the difficulties neurodiverse young people and adults can face in engaging with education, staying in it, and then navigating the world of work.”
