Providing bespoke training for carers and agencies supporting those individuals

  • Offer expert advice/guidance to those who support the person on a day to day basis – including but not restricted to families, personal assistants, voluntary, community, social care and other healthcare providers
  • Training and support to other services/support networks on evidence-based approaches to supporting autistic people in order to enhance knowledge and skills across services/localities
  • For those individuals who do not have established support circles (carers / agencies) to train, then part of the process for this team may be creating links / contributing to a wider network of decision making around building bespoke supports
  • Advice to commissioners and strategic planners on the design of services and support with the aim of enhancing resilience and creating capable environments which do not rely on restrictive practices to manage behaviour that challenges.
