Businesses encouraged to have quiet hours for neurodivergent people

Businesses across the Island are being encouraged to introduce "quiet hours" in the wake of Autism Acceptance Month.

The government initiative aims to create calmer shopping environments for people with autism, ADHD, anxiety and other conditions.

Simple changes can include lowering noise levels, dimming lights and reducing in-store announcements.

Government points to the example of several Tesco stores on the Island which already run quiet hours twice a week.
