Understanding autism

Making personalisation work

Better lives, better communities

Developing advocacy for people with autism

NEW EVENT

This is an opportunity to examine how advocacy approaches can be meaningful for people on the autistic spectrum. The Valuing People White Paper and subsequent document - three years on - highlight issues around choice and person centred planning but in order to have some ability to do this an individual needs to be self aware and have some self knowledge.

This event will begin by exploring the importance of self awareness and how it can be built in order to be able to develop both understanding and skills around advocacy. It will also include input on how staff and family carers can work together to advocate for non verbal individuals with autistic spectrum and learning disabilities who have not yet developed self advocacy skills and explore strategies that can be used to support those individuals.

Who for

Anyone working with or supporting a person with an autistic spectrum who wishes to have a greater understanding of advocacy.

When and where

6 July 2010, Kidderminster

Choosing staff to support you

This one day event will give you the chance to understand how to choose staff who will give you the support you need, when you need it and in the way you want it.

It will help you to think about how to treat people fairly and stick to the rules about employing people. It will give you and a supporter the chance to learn more and think about how you want to be involved in choosing your staff.

We will do different activities to help us think about:

- Choosing staff
- Treating everyone fairly
- Different ways of getting involved
- The support you might need to do this
