Details

In line with the requirements of the Autism Act 2009, DH has issued Fulfilling and Rewarding Lives, statutory guidance for health and social care bodies.  

The purpose of the guidance is to secure the implementation of ‘Fulfilling and Rewarding Lives: The strategy for adults with autism in England’ by giving guidance to local authorities, NHS bodies and NHS Foundation Trusts around training of staff, the diagnosis of autism and the leadership and planning of services.

This guidance will help these bodies to develop services that support and meet the locally identified needs of people with autism and their families and carers.
