    Help us to improve services for autistic people in south east London

    South East London Integrated Care Board (ICB) are reviewing the services available for autistic people living in the area (in Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham or Southwark). We know that there are gaps in services and we want to think about what services would fill those gaps. We are conducting a survey to better understand the needs of autistic people living in South East London regarding the services available to them. Your responses will help us identify gaps in current services and shape future services to better meet your needs. Your input is incredibly valuable, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

    Please note: You can answer the questions anonymously, and your responses will be confidential. The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.

    At the start of the survey you will be asked if you are an autistic person or a carer of an autistic person. The survey then splits into different questions about your experiences depending on your choice. If you identify as both an autistic person and a carer, you are encouraged to complete the survey twice to reflect your views on both services for yourself and services for the person you care for.
