The ‘connections’ website for ASD leads now includes additional resources to support ASD leads to develop and implement local ASD action plans. Many of the local ASD action plans from across Wales are now available on the site, along with resources such as guidance on service mapping and a ‘golden action plan’ containing themes from local action plans from across Wales. There is also a discussion forum area, where you can seek and share ideas with the other ASD leads and the regional support team.
If you do not have a password or need a reminder, please e mail your details to ASDinfo@WLGA.gov.uk.
If you would like to share any of your work via the website, or have any ideas for useful additional content, please contact either your regional support officer or myself and we will be happy to help.
