Brilliant to see we are progressing in this area. I look forward to hearing all about it.

[Commandant RAF Air Cadets @ComdtAC]

I’ve been asked by many volunteers for advice on how to better support neurodiverse @aircadets - it is a gap in my D&I learning, so today I’m at the Royal Academy of Engineering conference about ‘Harnessing the Power of Diverse Thought’ to learn more. Thank you @RAEngNews
