Why Neurodiversity?

‘‘We know there is a pattern between those who are neurodiverse and those who are in engineering & technology roles across the media and entertainment industry.

This is why we are delivering programmes of work to support the neurodiverse community and their neurotypical colleagues.’’

- Carrie Wootten, CEO, Manifesto

Our programmes of work

  • Mentoring Programme

    We are supporting 10 Mentees & Mentors in 2024 for 6 months. The programme aims to provide support, guidance and advice.

    The Mentees & Mentors will meet on a regular basis throughout the programme and we look forward to sharing the outcomes with you.

  • Neurodiversity Survey

    We asked the media and entertainment industry to complete a short survey to understand if there was a pattern between those who are neurodivergent and those who are in technical and engineering roles.

    The findings from this survey will be shared with the Manifesto Members in March 2024.

  • Wired Differently

    We’re delighted to support and promote this new podcast which focusses on adult neurodiversity, featuring professionals from across the broadcast industry.
