Every clinical claim is checked against its primary source. Outdated or unsupported claims are flagged and rewritten before publication.
Reviewers confirm cited sources meet our standard — NICE, NHS, peer-reviewed literature — rather than secondary or unverified sources.
Content describing assessment, diagnosis or treatment is checked against NICE guidance for adult ADHD (NG87) and autism (CG142), and DSM-5-TR criteria — nothing may describe a process we do not follow.
Treatment effectiveness is never overstated, uncertainty is stated where evidence is developing, and no wording implies a guaranteed outcome or diagnosis. Assessments are sold; diagnoses are not.
No prescription-only medicine is named in promotional context (Human Medicines Regulations 2012), no superlative or comparative claims we cannot substantiate, and screening tools are never described as diagnostic.
Crisis signposting is present, exclusions and risks are stated plainly, and nothing on the page could reasonably lead a reader to delay urgent care.
Clinical pages are re-reviewed on a scheduled cycle — [[annually, with quarterly review of fast-changing pages: NHS waiting times, Right to Choose and shared care]] — and immediately whenever relevant NICE or NHS guidance changes. The reviewer's name and most recent review date are shown at the bottom of every clinical page.
If you spot something that looks outdated or incorrect, tell us the page, the specific claim, and — if you have one — a source supporting the correction. We acknowledge reports within [[5 working days]] and complete a medical re-review within [[14 days]].
This short screener covers the symptom areas clinicians assess — attention, restlessness and impulsivity — to indicate whether a full assessment may be worthwhile. It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis.

This screener is an educational tool and does not provide a medical diagnosis. Only a qualified clinician can diagnose ADHD following a full clinical assessment. A positive screen does not mean you (or your child) have ADHD, and a negative screen does not rule it out. If you are struggling, please speak to your GP or a mental health professional.
