When Camden signed their first staff Disability Charter, with the objective of becoming a truly inclusive organisation, part of that commitment was to set out a series of ways to ensure that our neurodiverse colleagues feel supported and protected. This led to the creation of the Wellbeing Passport which was launched in May 2021.

The Wellbeing Passport is a template that can be used to aid conversations that you may need to have with your manager if you need to make adjustments or specific arrangements for you to have a better and more positive day to day experience at work.

The Wellbeing Passport was designed for:

• carers
• disabled staff (with both visible and non-visible disabilities)
• staff with long term health conditions
• staff experiencing mental ill health
• staff experiencing exceptional circumstance e.g. Bereavement or seriously ill child,

The Wellbeing Passport will enable:

• comfortable, collaborative and transparent conversations regarding what you need and arrangements that need to be made
• a reduction in the need to repeat yourself unnecessarily and renegotiate arrangements with your manager or if you get a new manager
• a feeling of confidence that your manager will respond accordingly if your health deteriorates, or your caring role becomes more challenging

More information regarding the Wellbeing passport can be found on essentials.

It might be useful for you to see an example of a completed Wellbeing Passport for someone who has a neurodiverse condition.  The example attached is for someone who is dyslexic.
