I thought I would post details of this update that I have just come across as it maybe helpful to some of us on here.

It is an report update on the relationship between neurodiversity and repeat offending. Details of the report can be found on the Youth Justice Legal Centre Website and on the Revolving Doors Website (revolving-doors.org.uk).

Hi Alison,



Thank you for your post on our family and friends forum.



You’ve outlined a really important topic in your post which is vital to shed light on, and the resource you provided, Revolving Doors, is a great source of information as it is an organisation focussed on individuals who have repeatedly been in contact with the criminal justice system, largely due to underlying unmet health or social needs.



The report you mentioned in your post regarding neurodiversity and repeat offending is a fascinating read, and the website offers a number of similarly informative content including a podcast and information regarding changes in policy in regard to this specific demographic.



Thank you for your valuable contribution to the forum and sharing this resource with our other users.



Take care,

Lucy
