Autism Training

The request was successful.

Dear Aberdeen City Council,
Training for Social workers , admininistration staff etc.

In 2014 a course was run by Bon Accord care, understanding autism . That course provided skills and knowledge for staff working with individuals with autism. It ain't me was to identify differences on the autism spectrum and how this impacts on individuals and their family. It also explored a range of ways of support individuals.

What Autism training has been supplied to social workers since 2014?

Does Aberdeen Council keep records of social workers who have had Autism specific training?

Yours faithfully,

Edward fowler
