Autism Partnership Board

Bexley’s Autism Partnership Board is made up of a mix of local people including autistic people, unpaid carers, health and social care staff, voluntary sector organisations and statutory organisations such as the local council, DWP and education. It aims to work toward improving the lives of local autistic people and help to amplify the voices of autistic people and their carers.

The Partnership Board is currently an adult focussed board but will be working on expanding to involve members who can represent the views of children and young people as this strategy will now be an all-age strategy.

Action plan

An action plan will give more detail about how we will work towards achieving our strategy, including how we’ll achieve our priorities, who will lead on the work and by when.

The Autism Partnership Board will oversee the Autism Strategy and review the action plan at least annually to make sure that we are on target to achieve our aims and to update anything which may have changed.

We know that our priorities and actions may change over time so the Autism Partnership Board will ensure that the action plan continues to be relevant and working towards achieving what local people need most. The board will regularly report on the strategy and publish information on Bexley Council’s website. 

Appendix A gives an overview of the actions within the action plan.
