To ask His Majesty's Government what record is made at each stage of the criminal justice system of whether an individual has ADHD or another neurodevelopmental condition; and whether that record is linked to health, education, or employment records.
To ask His Majesty's Government what record is made at each stage of the criminal justice system of whether an individual has ADHD or another neurodevelopmental condition; and whether that record is linked to health, education, or employment records.
The Ministry of Justice is committed to improving support for neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD, across the criminal justice system.
We recognise the importance of early identification of individuals’ needs. As part of the Neurodiversity Action Plan, HMCTS has developed a signposting strategy to help court and tribunal users with additional needs to access support. HMPPS take a needs-led approach to supporting neurodivergent individuals and now screens all prisoners upon arrival. It has introduced a new Additional Learning Needs screener as part of the new Prisoner Education Service. This allows HMPPS to identify any needs and inform appropriate support and reasonable adjustments in order to help prisoners engage with education, skills, work and rehabilitation opportunities.
We continue to work with partners, including the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) through the Health and Justice National Neurodiversity Programme Board, building on progress highlighted in the final update to the Cross-Government Neurodiversity Action Plan, published in February 2026. Our approach draws on the wider recommendations of NHS England's Independent ADHD taskforce and the Chief Medical officer's report on the health of people in prison and on probation, which included a focus on neurodiversity. We have no current plans to establish a separate Taskforce.

The Public Office (Accountability) Bill is currently undergoing parliamentary scrutiny and has not yet been enacted into law. It is not the practice of the Government to comment on the potential application of legislation to specific current scenarios when it is currently before Parliament and has not yet been enacted. The Bill does not provide for the duty of candour to apply retrospectively. The Government remains committed to supporting the independent Southport Inquiry.

The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse highlighted cases where records had been destroyed in accordance with the retention policies in place at the time, and the absence of those records subsequently hindered police investigations into allegations of child sexual abuse. In April 2025, the government set out the steps it is taking to act on the recommendations from this inquiry.
This year, the Home Office will continue to invest in the Support for Victims and Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse fund. This funding, provided to seven voluntary organisations, enables a range of vital national services to support child and adult victims and survivors of child sexual abuse. This includes support helplines, in-person and remote counselling, group support, online psychoeducation resources, training for professionals working with victims and support for parents and carers of victims and survivors.
The department has not issued specific guidance on engaging directly with survivors of historic abuse or ensuring that investigations are being conducted. Approaches and responses must be determined locally by the council in light of the full context and evidence available. The department is unable to comment on specific councils and their policies.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what mechanisms exist to ensure that local authorities provide timely access to historical care records for former looked‑after children who make such requests.

Ministers have considered the implications of historic safeguarding failures on policies. In April 2025, the government set out the immediate and longer-term steps it is taking to act on the recommendations of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse and to tackle child sexual abuse and exploitation more broadly, which included some evidence linked to Grafton Close.
Regarding access to institutional records, the government will lay regulations instructing the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) to produce a code of practice on the retention of personal data relating to child sexual abuse. The ICO will then prepare the code following consultation with an expert panel. Recent guidance has been published by the ICO around access to care records in general available at: https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/campaigns/better-records-together/.
The Home Office provides funding for voluntary organisations to support nationally accessible services to assist victims and survivors of child sexual abuse through the Support for Victims and Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse (SVSCSA) fund.
This year, the Home Office will continue to invest in the SVSCSA. This funding, provided to seven voluntary organisations, enables a range of vital national services to support child and adult victims and survivors of child sexual abuse. This includes support helplines; in-person and remote counselling; group support, online psychoeducation resources; training for professionals working with victims; and support for parents and carers of victims and survivors.
The government is taking steps to establish a Child Protection Authority (CPA), a key recommendation from the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. The CPA will drive improvement and accountability in the child protection system, as part of a long-term shift to a more expert, accurate, and decisive multi-agency system. The consultation on the CPA closed on 5 March 2026 and the government will publish its response by summer 2026.
Any assessment of the adequacy of the response from Richmond upon Thames Council must be determined locally by the council in light of the full context and evidence available.
At present, the government is not considering a separate inquiry into the handling of safeguarding concerns at Grafton Close children’s home.

The law allows the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) to release vehicle keeper details in certain limited circumstances, subject to appropriate safeguards. Organisations receiving this data must comply with their obligations under data protection law.
Where a private parking management company makes electronic requests for vehicle keeper data, the data is provided subject to strict contractual terms. Data may only be used the purposes set out in the contract and must be deleted once no longer needed.
All private parking companies are audited to help ensure that the information is requested and used appropriately. The safeguards in place to protect personal data are kept under review to ensure they continue to provide appropriate protection.
