The Government’s ‘Building the Right Support Action Plan’ intends to make it easier for autistic people and people with a learning disability to access the support that they need, at the right time. It has been developed with the aim of bringing together, in one place, actions across government and public services to strengthen community support and reduce overall reliance on mental health inpatient care. It is hoped that the measures in the Action Plan will prevent more people from reaching a point of crisis and ending up with an inappropriate hospital admission where they may not always receive the right care.  

As part of the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) Health and Wellbeing Alliance the National Autistic Society have put together a guide to communicate what the actions in Building the Right Support Action Plan mean for autistic people and people with a learning disability.
