This week ADHD LIBERTY 💙 gave a presentation in London to 100 researchers about the huge crossover between ADHD and homelessness.

This is an area I am massively passionate about having started my volunteering career 30 years ago with The Big Issue and Crisis.

It would be many years after that I’d be diagnosed with ADHD. But it explained the instant rapport with every homeless person I had mentored for the previous 15 years. I could see ADHD in pretty much all of them, but all of them were undiagnosed - hence their circumstances.

The connection between ADHD, homelessness, addiction and offending is SO BIG and if you would like us to present to your organisation, please do get in touch.

We can also set you up with screening your Clients for ADHD and it won’t cost you a penny 🪙🪙🪙

STOPPING THE SCHOOL-TO-PRISON PIPELINE

We are thrilled to announce that a Pilot is now well underway in Cumbria to screen
for ADHD in police custody.

Cumbria is the second force in the country to introduce a voluntary ADHD screening pilot to detainees coming into police custody.

The screening pilot was produced by ADHD Activist and Author Sarah Templeton, Head of ADHD LIBERTY and the first pilot was implemented by the City of London Police in May 2023.

Sergeant Leesa Edwards, Chair of the ADHD Support and Working Group in
Cumbria Constabulary approached the force about introducing the pilot and has
worked hard to bring ADHD screening to Cumbria.

Speaking of the pilot, Chief Superintendent Andy Wilkinson, Cumbria Constabulary’s Custody Lead says, “Cumbria is the second Police Force in the UK to adopt the screening within custody recognising the support required for those withADHD. This will help us to signpost those with ADHD traits to get a diagnosis and also helps us better understand offending linked to neurodiversity and help prevent reoffending”

Sarah Templeton of ADHD LIBERTY says “We have been absolutely thrilled to workwith Cumbria Police. We know how hard they have worked to put this screening in place, and we think it will be an excellent example of how undiagnosed ADHD is potentially affecting offending in a rural location after our first pilot in the centre of
London.”

Cumbria’s Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner, David Allen, said “Custody suites across the county see people from all walks of life, some needing additional support. This screening supports the Police to do their job whilst providing individuals with the
assistance they need. This again, shows that Cumbria is innovative in its approach to dealing with complex issues and that just because it is a small rural force, doesn’t mean that you cannot be at the cutting edge of innovation and problem solving.

Cumbria Constabulary is a high performing force that is always looking for ways to improve the service we provide to the residents and visitors to Cumbria. I look forward to seeing how this pilot progresses”.

Thank you so much to Rosie from ADHD untangled and Laura from ADHD AF for coming to the Bucks & Beyond ADULT ADHD Support Group Christmas knees-up last night 🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼

Laura and Rosie ran our Charity Auction where we managed to raise over £1,100 towards our cause of getting everybody involved in the CJS screened for ADHD 💙

The girls both came a long way! Rosie had a puncture en route, then we had dyslexic Rosie, reading out the auction lots and two people with dyscalculia - me & Laura managing the bids and working out who was paying what - so you can imagine the chaos!!!!!

Thank you to everybody who came and supported the event 🥳🥳🥳🥳

It was a brilliant night and huge thanks to Rosie and Laura for being the icing on the cake - we all love you both and are so grateful 💜💜
