Require Private Autism Assessments to meet same standard as NHS Assessments

Require Private Autism Assessments to meet same standard as NHS Assessments — 10 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

We want private Autism Assessments to be aligned and standardised with assessments carried out by the NHS, so that both can be recognised equally by GPs and authorities to provide support for education and employment provisions, especially for young people.

Additional details

Some choose to have an assessment done privately due to long NHS waiting lists, when a young person needs support and help in school urgently. We want such private assessments to be required to meet the same standards as NHS assessments, so that they can be recognised equally and the young person can access the support they need urgently.
