Help us co-produce Autism Champions for our forensic services
In the spirit of Co-production Week 2022, we are creating an Autism Champion programme for staff working in forensic services in Oxleas and want to develop this with the help of service users, carers and staff.
This is a pilot programme which we hope will be extended to all other directorates in the trust.
We are holding three separate focus groups and will be asking questions such as:
- What should be the roles and responsibilities of an Autism Champion?
- What training should we provide the Autism Champions?
- What should we look for when recruiting for Autism Champions?
The focus groups will be held virtually on the following dates:
- For staff: 2 August 2022
- For service users: 3 August 2022
- For carers: 4 August 2022
All groups will start at 2pm.
Interested?
If you would like to attend one of these focus groups, or you would like more information, please contact Dr David Prior by email at: d.prior@nhs.net

Filming and photography requests
We receive documentary, location and broadcast filming requests on a regular basis – we consider all proposals on an individual basis and will try to accommodate proposals where possible, if appropriate.
No photography or filming is permitted without prior arrangement and agreement. Our patients always come first and we have a duty to protect their safety and confidentiality. Anyone found filming or taking photographs on the trust premises without the permission of the trust’s communications team will be asked to leave by the security department and may face prosecution.
Unless agreed otherwise, film crews and photographers must be accompanied by a member of the Communications Team at all times.
