This strategy sets out our plan for children, young people and adults with autism in Havering, and taking into consideration the needs of families and carers.  It will require further and more detailed consultation with a range of people, stakeholders, partners as well as adults, children and young people with autism and their families.  Cabinet will be asked to approve this for consultation which is proposed to be undertaken through summer 2019, with the final strategy bought back to Cabinet in autumn 2019
