GENERAL INFORMATION

 

Autism Alert Cards

The aim of the Alert Card is to support people with Austic Spectrum Disorder should they find themselves in any type of contact with the Police.

Hampshire Autistic Society, in partnership with Hampshire Police, will launch the Alert Card Project on 7th October 2008.  The card should be carried at all times and shown to an Officer in the case of an incident or situation. The Police would be able to support the person in an appropriate manner and contact a named person listed on the back of the card to assist with supporting the person during their time in Police care.

 

Information will be on the Hampshire Autistic Society website leading up to the launch date so keep an eye out for more information on www.has.org.uk

 

If you require further information on the Alert Card, or any other information, please contact the Outreach Department on 023 8063 3951

Value and Viability of Parent & Toddler Groups

Are they satisfied with what they find?

What are the rewards and challenges experiences by those running the groups?
