ADHD and Legal Proceedings

ADHD UK hosted a panel discussion on “ADHD and the Criminal Justice System” as part of the first Global ADHD Conference.

Henry Sheldon (ADHD UK) chaired a conversation with William Scrimshire (Communicourt), Michelle White (Teesside University) and Allison Woodhead (Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust), exploring topics including underdiagnosis of the condition among individuals in the criminal justice system, police questioning of individuals with ADHD and the barriers to participation a defendant with ADHD may face at court.
