2008 Party Conference Round-up

 01/01/01

Autism has been high on the political agenda recently. Many voluntary organisations working with and on behalf of the autism community around the UK attended the main political party conferences in September with some successful and interesting debates and events.

 

Both The National Autistic Society and TreeHouse held events at all three conferences, giving MPs and decision-makers, people at the conference, parents and adults with autism the chance to discuss how policy can better reflect the needs of people with autism.

 

Further details on the NAS events can be viewed online.
