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

We would like to better understand the experiences of autistic people in south east London who access health and social care services. This will help inform the development of current and future services in the area.

Background

The Learning Disability and Autism Programme of the South East London Integrated Care Board (ICB) have been undertaking some work mapping services for autistic people across South East London. We have identified some key gaps which are priorities for further service development. We are keen to gather the views of autistic people, and carers of autistic people, to further map services and to understand what services should look like.

How you can get involved?

There are different ways you can participate and share your experience and tell us what you think.

We have developed a questionnaire asking for the views and experiences of autistic people and carers of autistic people. We are keen to hear from as many autistic people, and their carers living in south east London, as possible. Please complete our short survey here or by clicking the button below - Take survey.
We would like to invite a group of autistic people, and their carers, to a focus group where we can continue discussions on: how we can ensure we are aware of gaps in services for autistic people how we address these gaps to ensure autistic residents of South East London get their needs met Please complete the survey and let us know if you would like to attend a focus group.

Why get involved?

This is your opportunity to help shape the future of services for autistic people in South East London and to tell us what works well, what needs to change and what you need.

If you choose to engage in the focus group your travel expenses will be reimbursed.

Next steps

We are planning to create a task and finish group to focus on developing a new community autism team in South East London. As part of the group we will invite one or two autistic people to join the group and be a key part of the development and design of this new service.
