Are you a family member or carer of an autistic child or adult?
Autism Central is a peer education programme, commissioned by NHS England. It aims to build knowledge and understanding of autism and empower families and carers to advocate for autistic people they support. Local support helps families to get the right understanding and adjustments in place across the services they use.
Everything the programme does is informed by, or co-produced with autistic people, families and carers.
Autism Central hubs deliver the programme in seven regions across England through group and one-to-one sessions, giving information on local services. Each session is delivered by parents and carers of autistic people who are happy to share their knowledge and experience with others.
Autism Central North West Hub
The North-West Autism Central Hub offers guidance to families, carers, and personal assistants of autistic people.
All our sessions are run by Peer Educators. These are parents or carers of autistic people, who are happy to share their knowledge and experience with you. They offer group and one-to-one sessions to help you and other parents and carers find the information and services available in your area.
The Hub also runs events such as workshops, drop-in sessions, coffee mornings and virtual meetups.
