Autism and Parental Blame Survey
Understanding families’ experience of parental blame when they approach health, education, and care services for support.
What this project is about
This research study seeks to understand how parents of autistic children experience parental blame when they approach health, education, and care services for support.
This survey is part of the wider Autism and Parental Blame research project, led by ADASS West Midlands in collaboration with the University of Birmingham and commissioned by NHS England (Midlands Region).
Why?
Working together with families we will identify common concerns and themes and make recommendations for changes to practice that will ensure families feel heard and understood when they look for help.
Take part in the survey – open until 01st May 2023

Independent Travel Training Survey
South Tyneside Council want to make sure that young people are able to live as independently as possible. This includes being able to travel safely to and from their school/setting as well as visiting and meeting their friends by themselves, using different ways of getting there including walking, cycling or going on a bus.
We are exploring different models of Independent Travel Training and would like to capture the views of parents, pupils and staff within schools to inform future commissioning plans.
