All Age Autism Strategy

The council is working together with residents and organisations to create an all-age Autism Strategy which will focus on improving the lives of Autistic people and their families in Islington.

Our priorities

1. Helping people understand autism
   
2. Helping autistic children and young people at school
3. Helping autistic people find jobs
4. Making health and care services equal for autistic people
5. Making sure autistic people get help in their communities
6. Help for autistic people in the justice system

What have we done so far?

We held our first workshop on 25 April 2025, and talked about what is important to autistic people and their families. We also talked about what works well and what we need to do better. The six priorities (above) were agreed at the workshop with autistic people and their families.

What are we doing next?

We are planning more events for Autumn 2025 to hear from autistic people, their families and local organisations. We will also give updates on how the strategy work is going.
