Our new autism strategy

Lambeth has developed an All Age Autism Strategy, which has been developed in a broader framework of the national autism strategy and policy landscape.  

At the national level, the UK government has committed to improving the lives of autistic individuals and their families by implementing policies, guidelines, and initiatives that address this population's unique needs and challenges. 

The Lambeth All-Age Autism Strategy builds upon the Lambeth SEND and Inclusion Strategy and Lambeth 2030, Our Future Our Lambeth Borough Plan to ensure that appropriate support and services are in place to help autistic residents reach their full potential.  

The strategy also builds upon the national strategy's six priority areas. In addition, it introduces a seventh priority area that focuses on improving understanding and support for the roles of parents and carers of autistic individuals. 

Our seven key priorities are: 

  1. Improving Understanding and Acceptance of Autism
  2. Improving children and young people's (CYP) access to Education and Supporting transitions into adulthood 
  3. Supporting Autistic Individuals in Employment.
  4. Tackling Health and Care Inequalities 
  5. Building Community Support and Inpatient Care:  
  6. Improving Support within the Criminal and Youth Justice Systems 
  7. Local Initiative: Understanding the Role and Working with Parents/Carers
