The consortium is a partnership between the ten authorities of Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan and the National Autistic Society. It funds and steers The National Autistic Society's (NAS) Family Services Development Project which supports the strategic development of local services for people with autism. There are Autism Services Development Groups in each of the 10 local areas which are comprised of parents of people with autism and key staff in local statutory services in Social Services, Health and Education. The groups are working strategically together to develop and improve local services. They link with each other across the region through the consortium. The Chairs of the groups are also members of the Consortium Steering Group, together with the NAS Family Services Development Project.
