Our vision
Bracknell Forest is committed to being an inclusive place for autistic people to live. We believe it is everybody’s responsibility to remove barriers to participation and promote inclusivity.
Our approach
To achieve this, we will:
- provide accessible information and signposting and raise awareness of autism within the community
- collaborate with all members of the community, services, health and social care, education, businesses, employers and leisure
Our priorities
Our priorities are:
- improving autistic children and young people’s access to education
- tackling health and care inequalities for autistic people within our communities
- improving understanding and acceptance of autism within our communities
- supporting more autistic people into employment and vocational opportunities
- supporting positive transitions
Our commitment
The development of the strategy has been centred around involvement of autistic children, young people and adults and their parent or carers. This approach will continue in the implementation of the strategy.
Working together, we will develop and deliver the priorities outlined within this strategy. This will require close ongoing collaboration with the voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSE) sector, parents and carers, schools and children and young people and all professionals across health, care and education.
Robust governance, accountability and challenge will be provided through the Health and Wellbeing Board to make sure these priorities are delivered.
