Who is the course for?

This course is suitable for professionals working in the criminal justice system, including police officers, prison workers, secure unit and court staff who want to develop a general awareness and understanding of autism. Delegates will also have the opportunity to discuss their practices and how these can be adapted to meet the needs of autistic people.

Training details and timings

Our interactive training options provide delegates with access to our courses in a learner friendly and accessible way. Your training will be delivered by one of our experienced and knowledgeable training consultants, using a combination of PowerPoint presentation, videos and discussion to support learning. We schedule regular breaks into all our sessions. 

Live online courses are delivered using Microsoft Teams 

Delegates will be sent joining links and handouts prior to the course. We have approximately 15 delegates on each group, and we try to be sensitive to individual adjustments that people may need, including cameras being optional and using the chat box for interactions. 

• Our training is delivered live online, across two consecutive mornings, from 9.30am – 1pm. However, we can liaise with you to offer a range of delivery options and times that will suit your setting. Regular breaks are offered.

Face-to-face courses are delivered at a venue of your choosing 

Handouts will be provided at the beginning of the course. We have approximately 25 delegates on each group.
