Minutes:
The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, People, which
provided an update on the new Halton All-Age Autism Strategy.
The Board was advised that the current Autism Strategy was developed in
2012. Since then, a number of national reports relating to Autism had been
published and in addition, Halton took part in the Autism Self-Assessment
Framework, which was completed at the end of 2016.
A working group was established in July 2017 to move forward with planning
a new All-Age Autism Strategy, with questionnaires, consultation and a draft
strategy produced, as detailed in the report. The development of the All-Age
Autism Strategy aimed to take a more joined up and holistic approach to
developing opportunities and realising potential for people with Autism at
every stage of their lives. It was noted that the Health Policy and Performance
Board had considered a report on the proposals at its meeting on 27 February
2018.
RESOLVED: That the contents of the report, appendices and comments of
the Board be noted.
