Between November 2011 and February 2013, ROTA delivered the Shaping the Future seminar series, which considered educational reforms and the current state of play in terms of educational inequality. A concerning discussion point that came up at many of the seminars was that growing numbers of BAME children and young people are being diagnosed with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and pressurized to take medication by healthcare professionals and schools.
ROTA has just launched a discussion paper and survey to explore this discussion point further. Read the paper at http://www.rota.org.uk/category/publications/research-publications and access the survey HERE.
