<p>The Autism Act 2009 does not impose any specific statutory obligations on DWP or
its Providers. The Department is, however, fully committed to improving the services
it provides for people with autism. Part of the Department’s Autism Strategy Action
Plan focuses on key areas for improvement, including promotion of the autism agenda
to our Assessment Provider, Centre for Health and Disability Assessments. In order
to improve the skills and knowledge of Healthcare Professionals that undertake Work
Capability Assessments, the Department supported the Centre for Health and Disability
Assessments in the development of condition specific training on autism which is quality
assured by external reviewers.</p>
