Parliamentary briefings

We produce briefings to make politicians aware of our concerns about Bills (proposals for new laws) that are coming up before Parliament. MPs and Peers (members of the House of Lords) will often take briefings from a range of organisations. This is a good opportunity for us to have an input on policies as they are formed.

We also provide briefings for debates in the House of Commons and House of Lords that relate to the education of children and young people with autism. Below are the briefings we’ve produced in recent months.
