Dear Ms O'Keefe

In response to points 1 and 2 of your email below I can confirm that
presently the City Council doesn't have an Autism Strategy. However, as
was confirmed in our response to you, dated 15 February 2012, we are
currently developing our strategy through the Learning Disability
'Making it Happen Partnership'

I will treat the additional points as a further request for information
and have them logged and acknowledged accordingly

Audrey O'Keefe left an annotation (17 February 2012)

Councillor Anderson stated when elected as leader of Liverpool City Council "I will deliver a service that represents the 21st century, and in this 21st century Liverpool City Council does not have a Autism Strategy......Cllr Anderson and his administration do not honour the Autistic Adult. Shame on them.

Dear Kevin Symm,

AUTISM STRATEGY.

Please add this to my FOIA

1). You state Ms Coleman commissioning manager is responsible for
Autism and the Autism Strategy (when Liverpool eventually get one)
What training has Ms Coleman undertaken about Autism, that
qualifies her for this post.
2). Please list all training undertaken by Ms Coleman, including
dates, length of training, where the training took place, and the
organisation who provided the training.
3). What are Ms Colemans/Liverpool City Council/Adult Social Care
Aims & Objectives for the future of Adult Autism in Liverpool.
4). If Ms Coleman has not undertaken any training why do Liverpool
City Council Adult Social Care think she 'The Commissioning
Manager' qualifies for this post.

Kind Regards
