The Greater Manchester Autism
Consortium has been formed by the 10 Social Services Departments
in Greater Manchester. It funds and steers The National
Autistic Society’s (NAS) Family Services Development Project
which supports the strategic development of local services for
people with autism.
There
are Autism Services Development Groups in each of the 10 local
areas which are comprised of parents of people with autism and
key staff in local statutory services in Social Services, Health
and Education. The groups are working strategically together
to develop and improve local services. They link with each
other across the region through the consortium. The Chairs
of the groups are also members of the Consortium Steering Group,
together with the NAS Family Services Development Project.
The
Greater Manchester Autism Consortium is currently chaired by Veronica
Jackson, Oldham’s Executive Director, Adult & Community Services.
