In line with Regulatory Requirements this
funding is delivered as a grant and is awarded to 3rd parties
(Local Authorities) to use in line with their purposes and
objectives on behalf of the GMCA. These purposes and objectives
will align with those of the GMCA as the project enables localities
to explore and implement how they may support children and young
people with Autism in mainstream schools through the provision of
early intervention and preventive support.
Approval is agreed for GMCA to hold the budget
for GM Autism in Schools Project and to release funding to
individual Local Authorities as a grant arrangement.

authorities.
