**Commitment to safeguarding**

The North East Autism Society is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff to share this commitment. We recognise it’s our responsibility to take all reasonable steps to promote safe practice and to protect children, young people and vulnerable adults from harm, abuse and exploitation.

Employees and volunteers will endeavour to work together to encourage the development of an ethos which embraces difference and diversity and respects the rights of those we support.

**Supporting autistic individuals**

Supporting autistic and/or neurodivergent people in a specialist care setting provides a rewarding and diverse day-to-day job, however aspects of the role can be demanding. This includes times of crisis when it may be hard to understand and respond to the needs of those we support.

Some of the children, young people and adults we support may have additional, co-occurring conditions including communication and/ or physical disabilities or difficulties meaning certain environments can be overwhelming and stressful. While others will have encountered placements breaking down in the past, relationships changing and other traumatic situations.

Crisis situations do occur and while full ongoing training, peer and managerial support is offered, the role does require resilience and a strength of character alongside the ability to put training theory into practice.
