In addition to our creative work, Unquiet Media are also conducting a UKRI-funded research and development project, titled ‘EXCEPTIONAL MINDS’, aimed at researching the specific barriers faced by neurodivergent individuals within the creative industries and developing better practices to accomodate their needs.

 

Project aims:

• to address existing stigmas and misconceptions around hidden differences

• to advise and assist in creating more accessible work environments

• to amplify neurodivergent voices within our industry

 

Using the evidence from our primary and secondary research, the expertise of our psychology and neuroscience consultants, the needs of the many businesses we’ve scoped, and, most importantly, listening to the voices of the 100’s of neurodivergent contributors we’ve spoken to, we are creating a suite of resources for the industry to help make workplaces more inclusive, accessible, and safer for all.
