Leading from the Front: How the Caravan and Motorhome Club Are Setting the Standard for Neuroinclusion

Creating a truly inclusive workplace requires more than good intentions. It takes commitment, education, and a willingness to embed change at every level of an organisation.

The Caravan and Motorhome Club (CAMC) have demonstrated exactly what this looks like in practice, taking a proactive, organisation-wide approach to neurodiversity that goes far beyond surface-level awareness.

A Clear Commitment to Getting It Right

From the outset, CAMC were clear in their ambition:

To create an environment where neurodiversity is understood, supported, and celebrated, and where every team member has the opportunity to thrive.

This wasn’t approached as a standalone initiative, but as a business-wide priority.

Building Confidence Across Every Level of Leadership

The journey began with training delivered across the organisation, ensuring that understanding of neurodiversity wasn’t limited to one team or department.

This included:

  • Senior Leadership Team

  • Regional Managers

  • Wellbeing and HR team members

By equipping people at every level, CAMC ensured that neuroinclusion became a shared responsibility, not just the remit of HR.

Managers developed the confidence to:

  • Understand different ways of thinking and processing

  • Recognise individual needs

  • Respond with flexibility and clarity

Specialist Support for the Contact Centre

Recognising the unique demands of customer-facing roles, CAMC took their approach even further within their contact centre teams.

Managers received more in-depth neurodiversity and coaching training, enabling them to:

  • Develop and retain diverse talent

  • Adapt communication styles to suit different individuals

  • Deliver a more inclusive and responsive service to customers

This level of investment reflects a deep understanding that inclusion directly impacts both employee experience and customer experience.

Moving Beyond Theory: Meaningful Reasonable Adjustments

A key focus of this work was ensuring that reasonable adjustments were not just understood, but implemented effectively.

In collaboration with Julie Jones of Starford Legal, we explored both the legal framework and the practical, operational realities of making adjustments that genuinely support neurodivergent team members.

As a result, CAMC managers are now confident in:

  • Identifying when adjustments are reasonable

  • Understanding individual support needs

  • Applying adjustments in a way that is fair, consistent, and impactful

This clarity removes uncertainty and empowers managers to take action with confidence.

Embedding Support Through Coaching

CAMC’s commitment to neuroinclusion extends beyond training and policy.

They have also invested in one-to-one coaching for neurodivergent team members, providing personalised support during challenging times and helping individuals better understand their own ways of working.

This approach:

  • Builds self-awareness and confidence

  • Supports wellbeing and performance

  • Creates space for individuals to truly thrive

What Sets CAMC Apart

What makes the Caravan and Motorhome Club stand out is their commitment to structured flexibility.

They recognise that inclusion isn’t about applying a single approach to everyone, but about creating systems that allow for difference.

This is where many organisations fall short.

CAMC, however, have:

  • Embedded learning across all levels of leadership

  • Invested in specialist training where it matters most

  • Balanced legal understanding with practical application

  • Provided ongoing, personalised support for their people

A Culture That Celebrates Difference

The result is a culture where neurodiversity is not just accommodated, but valued.

CAMC are leading from the front, demonstrating that when organisations take neuroinclusion seriously, the benefits are far-reaching:

  • Stronger, more engaged teams

  • Improved retention and development of talent

  • Better service for a diverse customer base

  • A workplace where people feel seen, supported, and celebrated

Neuroinclusion is not achieved through intention alone. It’s built through action, education, and sustained commitment.

The Caravan and Motorhome Club are a powerful example of what’s possible when a business chooses to go beyond just talking about inclusion, and create meaningful, lasting change.

They have been an absolute delight to work with and they are already seeing the impact of their training and coaching investment.
