It is hardly a shock that I too thank the guests, particularly for the work being done. At this committee, we are trying to talk about a framework that can be built upon. It makes it easier for all of us, including autistic people, to live in society. It is really good to see where people are taking this on board and doing what is necessary. Within a council-type set-up, this can be easier in the sense that councils are aware of individual funding streams. I agree with what has been said in this regard. It would be best to have best practice rolled out across the board. I would imagine that the CCMA would have a role in this project. Is autism awareness training happening across all local authorities? What is the set-up?
