This focus group brings together autistic adults, family members, carers, and professionals to share experiences, insights, and suggestions around safeguarding in Norfolk.

The aim of this meeting is to:

• Identify any gaps, barriers, or challenges autistic adults face when engaging with safeguarding support.
• Explore ways to promote understanding of autism within safeguarding practice.
• Provide feedback directly to the Norfolk Adult Safeguarding Board to help shape policies and procedures.
