Buckinghamshire All-Age Autism Strategy
We have launched an All-Age Autism Strategy to improve the quality of life for all autistic people in the county.
We want autistic people to get the support that they need to live full and independent lives in their communities. We want professionals, services and communities to understand how to support individuals so that autistic people can access information, services and support at the right time.
The Buckinghamshire All-Age Autism Strategy was developed in close consultation with:
- autistic people and their families
- stakeholders across health, education, and social care including:
- Buckinghamshire Healthcare Trust
- the Integrated Care Board for Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire
- Oxfordshire Healthcare Trust
Aims
It aims to enhance quality of life by removing barriers, addressing inequalities and improving outcomes.
The strategy has 5 main aims:
- tackling health and care inequalities
- improving autism awareness and understanding
- meeting the needs of autistic children and young people
- enhancing employment support
- promoting independent living
To deliver the strategy, we’ve developed a partnership action plan that is reviewed annually and monitored regularly.
Each action has a named lead responsible for progress and the Learning Disability and Mental Health Board, with representatives from a range of organisations, will oversee the delivery of the action plan.
