Making NCDR accessible for neurodivergent people: A toolkit for Family Law professionals
This toolkit has been produced by FLANC and FLiP, in partnership. It can be used by all professionals to enable neurodivergent clients to better access NCDR.
NCDR provides flexibility and adaptability that is not available in the court process. It can accommodate ways of working that support participation and it can be responsive to needs over time. This toolkit can be used by family lawyers, barristers, mediators and arbitrators who want to support members of the neurodivergent community in mediation, arbitration, negotiation and other NCDR processes.
FLANC was founded by a group of expert lawyers dedicated to ensuring that the neurodivergent community has equal access to justice by addressing barriers to participation in family proceedings and dispute resolution. We are passionate about increasing awareness and driving change through collaboration and education, across the legal sector and beyond.
