Welcome to the learning disabilities and autism toolkit

We have created this toolkit to help professionals and organisations that support autistic people and people with learning disabilities who have experienced sexual violence at any point in their lives.

We also provide specialist training to accompany the toolkit; please get in touch at training@sarsas.org.uk for more information.

We hope you find our toolkit helpful – please share it with anyone who might find it useful.
