Draft Revised Statutory Guidance to Implement the Strategy for Adults with Autism in England.

Department of Health, 2014

The department of Health is seeking views on draft statutory guidance for local authorities and NHS organisations. This is to support the implementation of Think Autism which is the update to the 2010 adult autism strategy.

The updates to the existing guidance are in line with the progress made since 2010 and changes in recent legislation.

The consultation looks at:

• staff training
• identification and diagnosis of autism in adults
• planning of services
• preventative support and safeguarding
• employment for adults with autism
