Neurodisability in the Justice System – Article 13 ‘Neurodisability’ is a catch all term, meant to cluster a range of invisible or less visible disabilities with similar characteristics/support needs. Some people prefer to say ‘learning disability’ or ‘neurodiversity’. Generally, communication needs are present or need to be accommodated. People with neurodisabilities are overrepresented in a number of poor outcome areas including education, justice and health. For example, we understand from anecdotal Youth Court evidence, some targeted studies, and studies from comparable jurisdictions18 that there is a significant overrepresentation in our youth justice system of people with neurodisabilities. There is a lack of comprehensive disaggregated data on people with neurodisabilities, but that data is critical to early, effective identification and service delivery. People with neurodisabilities who are not identified early, for example in an education context, are at risk of increasing poor outcomes and poor resilience. The IMM wants the Government to gather data on the prevalence of neurodisability and use that data to inform targets and indicators to ensure better service delivery to people with a neurodisability.

Substance Addiction (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Bill – Article 14 The Government introduced the Substance Addiction (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Bill19 in Parliament in 2015. The IMM are concerned that the Government is enacting another piece of legislation that has provisions for the compulsory treatment of people, given the concerns that the UN Disability Committee raised regarding this in the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and treatment) Act 1992. The IMM is further concerned that the Government has not provided sufficient evidence as to the efficacy of compulsory treatment for people who are deemed to have substance addictions.
