This webinar will consolidate and share key learning from across the series held before the summer and provide an overview of services models from around the country that deliver:

• Intensive and Enhanced services supporting Autistic Children and Young People

• Autism Support services

• Overnight Respite and Crisis Services

We will also provide an overview and invite you to join our Developing Community Services Community of Practice to support the planning and implementation of these crucial local services to bring about real change for children, young people and their families, and our NHS Futures Platform - a professional space to share best practise and support the commissioning and delivery of improved local support and services.

For context, the webinar series we hosted earlier this year aimed to refresh local areas on implementation of the Long Term Plan commitment to reduce inappropriate admissions, this has been supported by the fair share allocation of £25million Service Development Funding, received locally.

We asked local area to focus this funding on strengthening community services for autistic children and young people aged14-25 years when facing crisis.  If you’d like any further information in relation to this series, please do email me.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Best regards, Scarlett (on behalf of Sue North Head of Children and Young People)
