Supporting children and young people with a Learning Disability and/or Autism in contact with Liaison and Diversion services and Young Offenders Institutes


Marie Hunt, Programme Manager for Health, CDC

Research shows that rates of learning disability and autism are disproportionately higher in the prison and youth justice population. This workshop will focus on learnings and key themes from a recent CDC independent review of services for children and young people with a learning disability and/or autism in Liaison and Diversion Services and a Young Offenders’ Institute. The workshop will look at examples of good practice and some potential ways to improve services for this vulnerable cohort of children and young people.
