<p>All Healthcare Professionals conducting Work Capability Assessments receive extensive
training regarding autism spectrum disorders as part of their initial new entrant

appropriate consultation skills. All Healthcare Professionals have access to condition
specific information on autism which is quality assured by external reviewers. Healthcare
Professionals are further supported by Functional Champions who are available to provide
advice to Healthcare Professionals on particular conditions including autism before,
during or after an assessment.</p>
