Mental health and wellbeing strategy: delivery plan 2023-2025

Footnotes

1. We recognise that the term ‘mental disorder’ is no longer commonly used, although it is used here as it reflects the language of the mental health legislation that underpins forensic mental health services.

2. Our usage of the term ‘neurodevelopmental support’ reflects the diagnostic criteria utilised in health and social care services for “neurodevelopmental disorders” (ICD-11). It is inclusive of the broad range of what our communities may refer to as neurodiversity/neurodivergence, such as our autistic communities, people with ADHD, people with learning disabilities, people with Down’s Syndrome and people with FASD.
