Autism Partnership Board

What is the Autism Partnership Board?

The Autism Partnership Board consists of a multi-agency membership including carers and self-advocates. They meet to decide what needs to happen to make the lives of autistic people better. Some of the agencies represented include:

• NHS East Riding of Yorkshire
• elected members
• adult education
• local colleges
• safe communities
• voluntary sector
• East Riding of Yorkshire Council. 

The key function of the East Riding Autism Partnership Board is to ensure a consistent approach to service improvement and access for autistic people and their families/carers across all key agencies and partners.

How frequent are the Autism Partnership Board meetings?

The Autism Partnership Board meets every 2 months for a full meeting, however, there are regular sub-group meetings throughout the year which feedback to the main board. Extraordinary meetings may be called to address specific issues or challenges as and when required.

What are the Learning Disability and Autism strategies?

Every child, young person and adult with autism and/or a learning disability has the right to the same opportunities as anyone else to live satisfying and valued lives, and to be treated with dignity and respect. 

We want them to have a home in their community, be able to develop and maintain relationships and get the support they need to live healthy, safe and rewarding lives.

Copies of the strategies are available from the Learning Disability Partnership Board page.
