This project will seek to consolidate Health Education England's view that families and carers are an integral part of the workforce and should be able to access to high quality education and training. It will build on a successful nationally funded HEE autism peer education pilot project that has been undertaken in Manchester and develop this further to provide a national offer for autism peer education. This offer would be equally accessible in all regions of England through the provision of autism education resources to families, personal assistants, and small independent care providers This work will directly underpin the aims in the Department of Health National Strategy for Autistic Children, Young People and Adults and NHS Long Term Plan. Specifically, it will support the National Strategy aims ## CPV classification Education and training services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice ](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/c66ff085-765e-4f6f-806a-d6ddcd865c8f) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
