Matt Hancock, Former Government Minister has introduced the Neurodivergent Conditions (Screening and Teacher Training) Bill to Parliament. This Bill aimed to ensure that all Primary School children are screened for neurodivergent conditions and receive the support they need to improve their life chances.
Countless studies have shown the negative impacts of not identifying neurodivergent people early on. Shockingly, half of prisoners are believed to have dyslexia, and one in four prisoners grapple with ADHD – that’s 5 to 10 times higher than the general population.
Matt said “We, the neurodivergent community, are creating a call to action for everyone passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals to write to their local MP about reintroducing this Bill to Parliament. It’s easy to get involved:”
