N2  - As a profession rooted in social justice, equity and anti-oppressive practice, we must confront an uncomfortable truth: research consistently shows that Autistic parents and their children often experience social care systems as judgemental, exclusionary and sometimes harmful. So, we must ask - why is this happening? And what needs to change - in us, in our practice, in our organisations and in our systems?

These resources outline a neuroinclusive practice approach.

The Frontline Briefing introduces autism as it relates to practice with Autistic parents. It explores the necessity and responsibility for all social care practitioners to work relationally and inclusively with Autistic parents and their families.

The accompanying Practice Guide builds on this foundation by offering practical, neuroinclusive approaches rooted in the neurodiversity paradigm and social justice approaches outlined in the briefing. The practice guide also includes a glossary of key terms to support shared understanding.

The resources are for child and family social care practitioners, as well as other professionals who work directly with Autistic parents/carers and their families. Additionally, they serve as a valuable resource for supervisors and senior managers.
