Our strategy
Progress towards equality for autistic children and young people has been made. We’re proud of our role in this. That progress now hangs in the balance. A perfect storm of economic and political uncertainty, reduced resources, a continuing lack of understanding and a failure to prioritise autism means the next few years are critical.
Acceptance and the right support at the right time – that’s all we ask. We see a world where autistic children and young people can be themselves and realise their ambitions.
Time for Ambition
Our Time for Ambition strategy was developed with input from a wide range of key internal and external stakeholders, listening carefully to the voices of autistic young people and their families and carers.
We have reflected on the progress made against the objectives we set. While we can see that a lot has been achieved, we know there is still more to be done in each strategy area.
That’s why we have extended our Time for Ambition strategy for a further two years, 2024–26.
This will enable us to grow our impact, reach more autistic children and young people, their families and carers, and build our evidence base when influencing for positive change
How we're going to do it
We want even more autistic children and young people to have happy and fulfilling lives that give them dignity, respect and compassion.
Over the next three years, we will continue to build on our core expertise in education and employability while engaging more than ever before in the other areas that are essential for autistic children and young people to lead a fulfilling life, such as having supportive families and relationships, good health and wellbeing and being active citizens in their communities.
