The development and growth of autism partnership boards (APBs) across England is varied. In our discussions with commissioners and providers, it was considered important to begin mapping these existing APBs. This allows an open and transparent approach to the APBs and gives the opportunity for other relevant stakeholders to get involved.
Therefore, as part of our Autism Strategy Implementation Project commissioned by the Department of Health, we have begun the process of mapping existing APBs. This is seen as a starting point and both The National Autistic Society and Department of Health are keen to further develop mapping of APBs.
Below you will find contact details for the current APBs in different parts of England. The National Autistic Society and Department of Health encourage you to become part of this useful resource and tell us the details of your local APBs here.
