Scottish Autism, Scotland’s largest provider of autism-specific services and a leading authority and advocate for good autism practice, has appointed a consortium of autistic–led organisations to develop its approach on achieving inclusive governance.
The appointed organisations are the National Autistic Taskforce (NAT), Autism Rights Group Highland (ARGH) and the Autistic Mutual Aid Society Edinburgh (AMASE). Together, they have a combined experience of over 20 years in the Scottish, UK and International autistic and wider disability communities. The core project team will also have access to the wider expertise of others connected to their organisations throughout the project.
Over the next year, the project team will engage with Scottish Autism’s supported individuals and their families, board of trustees, senior and wider leadership team, staff and the wider autistic community to develop an inclusive governance approach that will maximise participation amongst the charity’s key stakeholders.
