Ensure access to screening for ADHD no later than 5yrs old

Open for signatures 43 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the Government to ensure that all children have the right to access screening for ADHD before they are 6yrs old.
I am concerned that children may be falling behind and not always accessing the curriculum because they cannot be screened for the condition until they are older and therefore cannot access medication and support to help them keep up with their peers.
