The Welsh Parliament / Senedd Cymru 

The Welsh Parliament, or Senedd Cymru, is the democratically elected body that represents the interests of Wales and its people. It makes laws for Wales, agrees Welsh taxes and holds the Welsh Government to account. It has responsibility for many important areas including health, social services, education and housing.

Members of the Senedd (MSs) are your representatives at the Welsh Parliament and, whatever their political party, should take up issues that are important to their constituents. MSs have offices in their regions and constituencies and they hold regular advice surgeries, giving you the chance to raise all kinds of issues and make your views known. 

When the National Autistic Society Cymru has successfully campaigned for changes to benefit autistic people, we’ve usually needed the support of your MSs. They have listened to your issues, and in many cases, have shown vital autism awareness and understanding.
