Proposed Changes To STARS Team Offer - Parent/Carer Survey

Introduction

Currently, schools and other education settings in Leeds can only refer a child or young person (CYP) to STARS (Specialist Training in Autism and Raising Standards) team if the CYP has a formal diagnosis of autism. 

The Learning Inclusion Service is proposing to change this system of referral and enable  schools and settings to refer CYP for access to support if the CYP presents with complex social, communication and interaction needs (including autism), regardless of diagnosis. The proposed changes are set to be implemented from January 2026, pending approval.
