Product Information

We will continue to upskill staff and increase the number of Disability Employment Advisers to support our Work Coaches. By the end of the strategy, we will have improved the support autistic people can access to find and stay in work. This, as well as the findings from the APPGA inquiry into the Autism Act, has shaped the focus and actions we are taking in this strategy. We will have also made progress on improving early identification of autism, so more children and young people can get the support they need at an early age.

The online world has opened up many opportunities for children with SEND and can be a positive place where they can chat to friends, play games or find support. Please note, we will only accept password change requests from the nominated point of contact from your business. million to charities supporting autistic people and people with a learning disability to enable them to provide virtual peer support and boost helpline capacity. Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how people perceive, communicate and interact with others, although it is important to recognise that there are differing opinions on this and not all autistic people see themselves as disabled. We will also shortly publish the response to the Health is Everyone’s Business consultation, which looked at ways to support disabled people and people with long term health conditions at work.We will be taking this forward through our Health Model Offices, which are Jobcentres that provide more intensive support to disabled people and test innovative approaches to disability employment support. In July 2018, we published the Inclusive Transport Strategy, as part of our ambition to ensure equal access for disabled people, including autistic people, using the transport system by 2030.

We will build a clearer understanding of how autistic people come into contact with the criminal and youth justice systems, and the type of support they may need across court, prison and under probation supervision. This has also provided learning about what works for autistic people as we move out of the pandemic.

Since its inception, the Autism Act has made an important difference to many autistic people and their families’ lives.

Particularly for pupils with protected characteristics including disabilities, sexual orientation and ethnicity. Receiving a timely autism diagnosis is vital in getting the right support and helping autistic people and those supporting them to better understand their needs. More broadly, supporting disabled people, including autistic people, will be a focus of our approach to labour market recovery as we come out of the COVID-19 pandemic. By 2026, we will have made headway on reducing the health and care inequalities autistic people face, and show that autistic people are living healthier lives. We want to improve how the SEND system works for children with special educational needs, including autistic children and young people, and their families.Our online and face-to-face training courses can help develop your understanding of how to protect children from abuse and safely recruit staff and volunteers to work with children. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic we have broadened our funding for the voluntary sector to support parent and child mental health and wellbeing, to help early years providers identify special educational needs and catch up children who may be falling behind, including autistic children. We want this initiative to help the public adapt their behaviour towards autistic people and recognise the diversity of the autistic community; that every autistic person is different.
