  Families living with autism and other neurodivergent conditions can now access 24 hour support and advice, the Deputy Minister for Social Services Julie Morgan has announced.
  
  This is being delivered via an expansion of the Community Advice Listening Line (C.A.L.L), with its skilled and experienced staff receiving additional training on neurodivergence from the National Autism Team.
  
  The listening line can be accessed by calling 0800 132 737 or texting ‘Help’ to 81066. For more information visit callhelpline.org.uk
  
  The Neurodivergent project, which can also signpost neurodivergent individuals, their families and friends to helpful literature or service information, has been in place since April 2023.
  
  It’s impact will be evaluated to ensure it meets the needs of people living with these conditions.
  
  The initiative forms part of Welsh Government efforts to deliver on its Programme for Government commitment to improve services and support for neurodivergent people.
  
  Deputy Minister for Social Services Julie Morgan (pictured) said: “I am taking a very active interest in ensuring that we are delivering the support neurodivergent people tell me they need. I have met with many families and heard about the struggles they experience in accessing help and support for autism, ADHD and Tourettes.
  
  “Many families have expressed to me a need to be able to share their anxieties, that having someone who is able to listen to them, without judgement, would make a difference to their lives and well-being. I am pleased to say that we are listening and we are taking action.
  
  “I hope this new listening line will help to deliver meaningful improvements to the lives of neurodivergent people and their families, and become a valued source of support.”
  
  C.A.L.L Helpline Manager Luke Ogden said: “We are pleased to be able to offer support to more people in Wales including those living with neurodivergent conditions, their families and friends. By having the training, provided by the National Autism Team, we will be offering a more inclusive service.
  
  “The helpline can offer emotional support to anyone living in Wales, can provide information on services across the country, and can provide literature on a range of subjects, to those who request it.”

• Swansea Parent Carer Forum Survey

  Mon 15 May 2023 Julie Miller

  Please can you read and complete the following from the Parent/ carer forum, just a quick reminder these are our special guests this week, for our ALN coffee morning. 

   

  Dear Parent Carer, We are very pleased to be releasing our second Big Survey for Swansea parent carers of children with additional needs or a disability, building on its successful launch in 2021. A really important part of our work is learning about you and your lives and experiences. This helps us to continue to build a strong collective voice to make sure services meet the needs of children, young people, adults with additional needs or disabilities and their families. We expect the survey to take no more than 10 - 15 minutes depending on the number of children and adult sons and daughters you have with a disability or additional need. We have worked hard to make the survey clear and easy to navigate but if you do need support to complete the survey, then please contact us.
