High level priorities
- Understand the local implications of the National strategy for autistic children, young people and adults: 2021 to 2026 and continue to deliver against the North Tyneside Autism Strategy 2021-2026
- Employment rates for those with ASD are significantly below the general population. Efforts to improve levels of employment and subsequent established health benefits for work, could be considered.
- Support our residents who may we waiting for ASD diagnosis whilst supporting NHS partners in efforts to improve diagnostic rates.
- Improving the referral to complete LEDAR reviews for Autistic Adults and Children with a clinical diagnosis who die and particularly those from ethnic groups or BME communities, so that thematic learning can be shared across health and care services.
- Work with colleagues across the health and wellbeing board to improve a range of health inequalities experienced by those with ASD.
