We are thrilled to be launching the 2024-27 Autism at Kingwood Strategy today. We have worked hard to get to this point, after the challenges of Covid and a social care staffing crises.
But, with proactive measures, including:
- successful negotiations with local authorities to achieve better rates
- sponsorship licences which have enabled us to employ 40 new permanent colleagues
- a reduction of agency rate to under 10%
we are starting to position ourselves for growth!
Read our strategy, where you will see a focus on supporting the transition of young autistic adults into adult social care, working closely with specialist schools and colleges so that we can provide a continuum of support for young adults, as they embark on their next chapter.
