Neurodiversity & LEPH SIG
This group aims to connect professionals and academics to advocate for the recognition of, and support for, people with neurodisabilities in law enforcement settings. We are interested in how to effectively identify and respond to neurodisabilities in justice settings, and what the key intervention points should be, so as to prevent both offending and criminalisation. By connecting healthcare professionals, social workers, and law enforcement professionals, we want to promote a rehabilitative culture of support around young people with neurodisabilities who may be vulnerable to contact with the justice system.
