Autism Strategy Review Group

Overview

We established the Autism Strategy Review Group (previously the Autism Strategy Reference Group) to help monitor and co-ordinate implementation of the Scottish Strategy for Autism (2011).

Members of the review group include representatives of autistic people's organisations along with the main national autism charities, Autism Network Scotland (the national autism information hub), Scottish Government and COSLA.
