answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/09/2022 answer text <p>As set out in the National Autism Strategy published in 2021, the government aims to encourage businesses and organisations across the country to take steps to become more autism friendly to help tackle exclusion, loneliness and social isolation. As part of this, we expect sports organisations and major sporting events to do all they can to ensure autistic spectators have the best possible experience.</p><p>In 2016, the Premier League, alongside The Shippey Campaign and The Lord’s Taverners, launched a programme to fund sensory rooms in 20 top-flight clubs. These provide a more comfortable and appropriate environment for autistic children to watch football matches. They are in use at several Premier League clubs including Chelsea FC, Manchester City FC and Arsenal FC.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 22/09/2022 15:34:22 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

It is considering regulatory issues relating to the administration of the charity by the trustees.</p><p>Due to the nature of the concerns, interim managers were appointed to manage the charity. The timeframe of the inquiry depends on the interim manager’s findings and any other regulatory action which may be required.
