April is Autism Acceptance Month, and we’re marking this by sharing reflections from colleagues in Lambeth Council’s Staff Disability Forum about what helps create an autism‑friendly workplace.
More than one in 100 people are autistic, and autism is often under‑diagnosed, particularly among women and girls – so many staff and residents will have lived experience, even if they don’t have a formal diagnosis.
Lambeth’s revised sexual health strategy prioritises access, prevention, and inclusion. The new five-year sexual and reproductive health & HIV strategy represents a significant advancement toward improving population health outcomes. Its objectives include addressing increasing demand for services, ensuring sustainable funding, and reducing disparities in sexual health.
Lambeth Together has published a new real‑life story illustrating the life‑changing support offered by the Evening Sanctuary at Mosaic Clubhouse— a community service commissioned by the Living Well Network Alliance for Lambeth residents. The story is being shared as the Alliance prepares to present its annual report at the March public Board meeting, offering a timely reflection on how community‑based mental health services are preventing crises and reducing pressure on emergency care.
Connected Lambeth is a new community directory that has been commissioned by Lambeth’s Adult Social Care team to signpost residents to a wide range of support across the borough. Lambeth Council is inviting local services to sign up to be listed, so that the directory is relevant and helpful to as many people as possible.
