Summer webinar series: Improving outcomes for autistic people and people with a learning disability
In the summer of 2023, we offered a series of webinars to support councils and their Integrated Care Board (ICB) partners to assist in their work in improving outcomes with autistic people and people with a learning disability. Following the webinars, a small number of areas were offered access to additional peer-to-peer development sessions to help them take forward the learning in their area.
The organisations presenting on the webinar are not endorsed by Partners in Care and Health and were invited to share their experiences in improving outcomes with autistic people and people with a learning disability. If you have something you would like to share at future webinars or events, please contact [email protected]
The webinars are available on this page along with the slides and some additional resources and weblinks. Over time, information and resources from the areas who took part in the peer-to-peer development sessions will also be added.
