Autism Awareness Talks
Alongside our popular training courses, we also offer short talks for staff development events and meetings. These sessions work especially well as “Lunch and Learn” or "Breakfast and Learn" events—just remember, you’ll need to provide the snacks!
​
Our talks can be tailored, within reason, to meet your team’s needs, but they generally focus on explaining what autism is (and isn’t) and debunking common myths.
​
Unlike a full training session, our talks are informal and don’t include activities; they are interactive, though, so attendees should be prepared to think and take part.
​
These talks are suitable for all staff and are delivered at your location. They are designed to take place during a lunch hour (although we can run them any time) with the speaker delivering for 30–40 minutes, leaving plenty of time for Q&A. There is no limit on the number of attendees, although we do recommend doing multiple sessions if you have more than 25 people who wish to attend.​​
​
Cost: £250 per talk.

"Autism Guernsey delivered a training session for our team, and it was excellent. It really helped us to better understand the autistic person’s experience in the workplace, and encouraged us to think creatively about how we can better support those needs through small but meaningful changes. The trainer's warm and friendly approach created an open dialogue, which made the session engaging and highly effective. We would highly recommend this training."
Alistair Boyle, Senior Director and Head of Guernsey, Permira
"Autism Guernsey delivered an autism awareness talk for our staff, and it was excellent. The speaker really brought the topic of autism to life, addressing commonly held misconceptions and sharing elements of their own lived experience. It was interactive, informative, and highly recommended."
