Views on autism services sought by county council

Autistic people in East Sussex are being asked for their views on services, as the county council looks to create an action plan.

The authority wants to hear about experiences with health and care services, transport, housing, education and employment.

The All Age Autism Action Plan would be used as the basis to improve opportunities.

The plan is being put together alongside the East Sussex Autism Partnership Board.

Mark Stainton, director of adult social care and health at East Sussex County Council, said: “The answers we receive will show us what is currently working well for autistic residents and help us identify areas for improvement, so we can increase wellbeing and access to services for autistic people.”

The consultation runs until 10 June, and can be completed online here or by emailing East Sussex County Council at [email protected].
