Hi, I am currently leading on Stockport’s new all-age Autism Strategy which will mirror the National Autism Strategy focusing on 6 key areas. There will be an implementation plan and 6 subgroups to lead on the tasks to make it happen.
These are the 6 themes:
|
Subgroup |
Main Tasks |
|
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 |
|
I want this strategy to be YOUR strategy so I will be engaging with individuals with autism and their families to find out where you think Stockport is currently in terms of these themes and what you want to happen.
If you would like to voice your thought then please complete our short questionnaire.
Please share far and wide, together we can make a difference.
Cheryl Knupfer
Strategic Lead for Autism
