People across Liverpool are being encouraged to have their say on a new neurodivergent strategy for the city.

The Liverpool Neurodivergent All-Age Strategy, 2025-2030, has been co-produced by the Liverpool Neurodiversity Strategic Partnership, and represents 18 months of development. And now all stakeholders who live, work or study in Liverpool are invited to give feedback during an eight-week consultation.

The consultation was officially launched at a city centre event on Wednesday as part of Neurodiversity Celebration Week. The draft strategy and survey is now available on Liverpool City Council’s website and will be open until Wednesday 14 May.

Feedback from the consultation will be used to further develop the strategy that will then inform future improvements to services for neurodivergent people and their families and it is planned that the final strategy will be presented to the city’s Health and Wellbeing Board in September.

It is thought that one in seven people in the UK is neurodivergent, equating to about 69,200 people in Liverpool, although this is likely to be much higher due to under diagnosis.

How to comment

The survey consists of several tick box questions, with options to share your personal thoughts and experiences. Completing the survey will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
