Autism strategy published

The Government has published a strategy to support people with autism. Find here a link to a Learning Disability today article which summarises the strategy, funding, focus and also reaction to it.

A link to the Gov.uk strategy document is here.

The strategy sets out six key areas in which to make improvements for autistic people. 

These are:

• Improving understanding and acceptance of autism within society
• Improving autistic children and young people’s access to education and supporting positive transitions into adulthood
• Supporting more autistic people into employment
• Tackling health and care inequalities for autistic people
• Building the right support in the community and supporting people in inpatient care
• Improving support within the criminal and youth justice systems

As an organisation we already have a focus on several of these key areas. These are underlined above.

We are proud to provide housing and support to many people with autism and will continue to do so.
