The language used in this survey
This survey will use the terms 'autistic person' and 'autistic child'. This is in-line with the Welsh Government's Code of practice on the delivery of Autism services:
“This Code will use the term ‘autistic people’ rather than ‘people with autism’, this is to reflect the language preferences expressed by autistic people who have contributed to the development of this Code. The term ‘people’ refers to children, young people and adults. The Code recognises all individuals, irrespective of age.” (Page 8)
How can I find out more information?
A full privacy notice can be found on the people and work website: https://peopleandwork.org.uk/en/privacy-noticed-code-of-practice/
