Our NHS Trust has a Neurodiversity support group and we are struggling to get the basic information across regarding Reasonable Adjustments and the Access to Work process. Do you have any advice for us?
These sessions are fantastic but I can’t stay awake for 24h but do not want to miss anything. Are these sessions being video’d so we can watch them later?
what are your thoughts on police and the neurodiversity. In particular professional standards. The struggles of ADHD and policing from my personal preceptive do not work. I lost my job with GMP, due to a emotional dysregulation incident in 2022
Does he have contact for the Police ADHD (or ND) group in York
With the benefit of hindsight, what would your 3 top tips be for setting up an ADHD workplace group ?
Do you have any contact/involvement with the international police association? Like my fellow commenters, I left the Police (not Met) contributed to by unhelpful attitudes to PTSD (literally told to “just grow a pair and get on with job”), which has just been recognised, nearly a decade later, by the psychiatrist who gave me my ADHD diagnosis a few weeks ago. I joined the IPA to stay connected with my former colleagues. If not, I wonder if there’s scope for trying to do something to support neurodivergence in policing internationally, as well as the Met?
Yes, classic attitude in Police, like “man up”, so outdated it’s unreal – to Anonymous
Well done, Daley… I hope things improve in the force and for you in your role there.
