The National Autism Peer Education Programme will offer families and carers of autistic people high-quality and easily accessible autism education, training, and support, via regional hubs across England, alongside a dedicated website.
The programme, which has been commissioned by Health Education England, will be delivered by the National Autistic Society, alongside the NNPCF and seven other charities: Autistica, Ambitious about Autism, the Autism Education Trust, the Autism Alliance, Contact, Great Minds Together and the British Institute of Learning Disabilities.
We are seeking the input of families, carers and autistic people to help us develop a programme of education and coaching specifically for families, carers and personal assistants.
This support will include autism education, training, and coaching via regional hubs and via their peer educators (autistic people and their families who are trained to train and coach other families) across England, alongside a dedicated website.
Through taking part in this survey, you will help ensure the family/carer and autistic voice is at the centre of the programme and that it meets their needs.
Please be aware the regional hubs are not yet established and so opportunities for becoming a Peer Educator or for accessing the services will come later and be informed by this survey and other means of co-production.
These opportunities will be publicised via the regional hubs from Spring 2023.
