UPDATE Good news: Tom has now been offered a more flexible and paid role by @asda. đđ» Credit to the BBCâs @kevfitz21 for covering this story so well. đđ» Perhaps one of the wider results of it will be more employers finding out about our Bee Neuroinclusive Code of Practice. đđ»
Truly terrible treatment of Tom by @waitrose. 1. We will support him to find another placement that works. đđ» 2. We would encourage all employers, including Waitrose, to sign up our brand new Bee Neuroinclusive Code of Practice.đđ» https://t.co/tAcef8Sy10

Waitrose don't deserve him - hope someone else has given Tom a job by the end of the day!
The mother of an autistic man who was told he had to stop stacking shelves at a Waitrose store where he had worked as a volunteer for years has said he "deserved better". Frances Boyd said her son Tom began work experience in 2021 as it gave him 'a sense of purpose' but when she
