Hello & welcome
We are Citizen Advice Mid Mercia's autism and neurodivergent support services for Derby & Derbyshire.
How can we help?
Dedicated to providing comprehensive and updated information for the autistic community, their families and professionals in Derby city and Derbyshire county via our helpline, drop-in information sessions, autism awareness training and more.
South Derbyshire ND Hubs
Offering information and guidance to neurodivergent children, young people aged 0 – 25 years old, their families and professionals in South Derbyshire. No diagnosis is needed to access the service —support is available both while awaiting assessment or if wanting more information about neurodivergent conditions and the support available in our local area.
Community of Practice
The Community of Practice (CoP) is a group of people who share a concern or passion regarding autism, learning disability and neurodiversity. The aim of the CoP is to better understand current services and gaps in provision. It enables originations and those with lived experience to come together to co-produce solutions to any identified issues. It is intended to be a new way of commissioning services by the NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board who can also allocate funding for new services (work packages).
