The justice system is designed to protect society and ensure justice for all, but it often fails to take into account the unique needs and perspectives of neurodivergent individuals.
To take one example, neurodivergent individuals may have challenges with social cues and may be more likely to have negative experiences with law enforcement as a result. Similarly, law enforcement or court personnel may have limited awareness or abilities to engage with rehabilitative interventions.
There are areas of good practice in police forces, probation services and prisons working to make significant improvements and changes for neurodivergent people. But what does neuro-inclusive practice in the justice system look like?
The panel will include individuals with lived experience, as well as professionals working in the field of criminal justice and neurodiversity advocacy. They will share their perspectives and expertise, as well as discussing potential solutions for creating a more inclusive and fair justice system for all.
