Figure 1
The conceptual diagram shows four rounded rectangles surrounding a central rectangular box. At the center, the small rectangular box reads “Detainee risk” on the first line and “Staff stress or strain” on the second line. On the left, a rounded rectangle labeled “Demands” contains four bullet points: “Diverse needs of N D detainees”, “Communication barriers”, “Custody environment”, and “Time and resource constraints”. A rightward arrow from the “Demands” box points directly to the central “Detainee risk, Staff stress or strain” box. On the right, a rounded rectangle labeled “Outcomes” contains three bullet points: “Effective practice”, “Detainee wellbeing”, and “Improved staff wellbeing”, and a rightward arrow extends from the central risk box to this outcomes box. Above the central box, a rounded rectangle labeled “Internal (personal) resources” contains the bullet points “Neurodiversity knowledge”, “Skills and strategies”, and “Confidence or self-efficacy”, with a downward arrow pointing from this box to the central risk box. Below the central box, another rounded rectangle labeled “External (work) resources” lists “Training”, “Environmental adjustments”, and “Systemic support”, with an upward arrow pointing from this box to the central risk box.Proposed resource-demand model of neurodivergent detainee engagement
