Children and young people in Warwickshire to benefit from autism education project

Children and young people in Warwickshire are to benefit from a new educational project to improve autism support in schools.

Warwickshire County Council and Warwickshire Parent Carer Voice are working with Peopletoo to deliver the Autism in Schools project, funded by NHS England, that will help school communities work better together with pupils and families to meet the needs of neurodivergent pupils now and in the future.

This project will involve working together to co-produce training resources regarding identity, and also training packages for schools to help autistic pupils understand their identity. The project will explore people’s experiences and encourage schools to adapt their environments so that they are inclusive to all. The project is working with parents, carers, children and young people to strengthen relationships and the ways these groups work together to improve learning experiences for Autistic pupils.
