Autism Care UK, the support organisation for people with autism and complex needs have launched a bold and inspirational mission statement based on what people with autistic spectrum conditions have said they want for their adult lives.
“A life of happiness, dignity, achievement and inclusion” has been selected to represent the work of Autism Care UK and demonstrate how imaginative support services for people with autism can be life changing for both individuals and their wider families. The statement has also been chosen to echo Article 3 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities which speaks of “Respect for inherent dignity, individual autonomy...and full and effective inclusion in society”.
Pete Cross, head of strategy with ACUK, said: “Our mission statement is based on the outcomes that we provide for people through our services, be these community or home based. Happiness, dignity, achievement and inclusion represent things that we would all aspire to in our lives and people with autistic spectrum conditions are no different in this regard.
“These are the outcomes that people with autism and their families rightly demand from their support providers and is the focus of all of ACUK’s care and support delivery.”
