A pilot project to train parent/carers of autistic children and young people to provide a peer support network across Midlands and East of England.

Health Education England is seeking a suitably skilled and well-appointed contractor to design and deliver an appropriate training intervention for parents of young people aged 11-18 to enable them to operate within a peer support network. Training would equip parents to work alongside and with other parents of young people diagnosed with autism to share their experiences in managing the challenges during adolescence and at a time of transition and act as a local source of support which is outside of the formal health or care system.
