Case Study: Embedding proactive neuroinclusion in construction with Interclass and the National Federation of Builders

Interclass and the National Federation of Builders (NFB) partnered with Genius Within to help drive practical neuroinclusion across the UK construction industry, with support from the CITB Industry Impact Fund.

Responding to NFB research showing that 1 in 4 construction workers identify as neurodivergent, the programme was designed to move beyond awareness and create lasting, everyday change. Genius Within developed and delivered a sector-specific approach combining:

Live training

Bespoke e-learning

Practical employer tools

An ongoing allyship community

The programme reached more than 120 people across apprentices, managers, HR professionals and senior leaders. Feedback showed strong engagement and practical impact: 84% of participants rated satisfaction 8/10 or higher, 88% found the content engaging and useful, 82% said the training would positively change colleague interactions, and 92% would recommend it to others.

The case study shows how targeted, collaborative interventions can build confidence, improve communication and support inclusive management practices in complex working environments.
