We understand the difficulties parents and families face finding suitable services for their loved one, and that many face a constant, exasperating struggle to ensure they are able to get the right support.
We also appreciate how hard it is to rely on other people to care and support your adult child or sibling when they are so vulnerable.
The people we support and their families are at the heart of everything we do and we are committed to working in partnership with parents and family members.
Autism at Kingwood helps autistic adults to live the lives they choose. We believe that autistic people can, like all of us, continue to develop and grow, make choices and be valued, active and contributing members of the community.
By fostering a partnership with families, we feel we can gain the best outcome.
At our supported living houses, our support workers and managers do their upmost to ensure family members get the communication they desire.
We hold two online family forums each year, which is an opportunity to meet with members of the Senior Leadership Team and other family members.
Additionally, we survey our families each a year to gauge their views about the support their loved one is receiving from us, and about what we could do better.
Some family members have formed a Kingwood Family Support Group. If you would like to learn more about the group or if you are thinking about Kingwood as a provider for your child, please contact us at familyenquiries@kingwood.org.uk.
We have recently held a family seminar on setting up a Trust for parents of autistic children we support. This is an area of worry and confusion for many families, and we have teamed up with local company Heritage Estate Planning who will provide free advice and 20% discount for Kingwood families who choose to use the service.

We provide supported living and outreach support, helping and enabling autistic people to live in their own homes and make their own choices about the lives they want to lead.
Our relationship with the families of those we support is incredibly important to us and we work in partnership with families wherever possible.
All Autism at Kingwood support staff receive our Specialist Autism Training, making us leading care providers in Autism support.
