The Autism Innovation Strategy was published in August 2024. The Strategy contains 83 actions across four core pillars which will be delivered over an 18-month implementation period.

11 Government Departments and related public bodies have committed to leading on, or supporting, actions in the Strategy. This Government is committed to the full implementation of the Strategy, and this is reflected in the Programme for Government. I am pleased to report that strong progress is being made across all thematic pillars by the lead Departments and agencies.
