Autism Aware Glasgow.

Just a quick update about Glasgow City Council and their ongoing Autism Aware Initiative, which launched last year with the aim of delivering the 'best possible' experience in the city for Autistic people and to make Glasgow venues - and the city as a whole - more Autism friendly*.

News just in that GCC - as the cool kids cry it - are holding a number of autism training days for staff across the city over the next few months.

Staff - from participating venues - will partake in training carried out by Autism Network Scotland and Tanya Tennant Autism Training & Consultancy, which takes place on 31st May, 27th June 27 and 25th July and the training will compliment that already carried out - with great success I must add, especially with museums and a fair few shops - for organisations including museums (see? - told you!), transport hubs and arts venues.

No idea what an 'Autism Champion' is but I shall endeavor to find out!

Councillor Susan Aitken.

Councillor Susan Aitken, leader of Glasgow City Council, said (not to me mind, but to the press):

"Glasgow is making huge strides towards being a truly autism-friendly city. "These training sessions will allow all sorts of organisations across Glasgow to play their part in making the city as welcoming and inclusive as possible - and make a real, positive and daily difference to the lives of many people."

More info as it comes, hopefully transport department can send someone along to the training to tho' not in a taxi as it wont turn up.





























*And you can read the reviews for the venues/events from 2018 elsewhere on this blog - clue: they'll be under reviews.

You're welcome.
