Thank you for your question and welcome to ADHDCentral.com.
I am sorry that your son is having such a difficult time right now. I am not familiar with resources available in the UK. There is a listing of support groups in the UK, you may be able to contact various support groups, especially if they are located in your area. Someone there may be able to better direct you to local resources:
I am also providing you with some additional information on parenting teens with ADHD that may be of some help:
Self Direction and Transition into Adulthood
When Teens With ADHD Are Defiant
The Fine Art of Raising a Teen With ADHD
I hope this information helps
