To ènsurè SCF funds targeted areas of nwjst need. SdK￿lS and ¢xJl*es were acbwty er￿vraged lo consult with and

starting in 2021 trustees designated £1.153,000 for rayd ￿$r0￿1$e funding to prowde support in response lo the real

In September 2022 we launched the frflh SCF rapid wponse fund. the first one not (liredy COVI￿related. Research
suggested that there were a number of compounding factors affeding 8Utistic students in secondary schools and
colleges. Funding was offered tothe 33 local authorities in the West Midlands. Ncth Yorkskmre, the North Eastof England
and Wesl Yorkshire. We gave 86 awards amounkn"n9 to £234,OC(l in November 2022.
Schools and e*)Ileges used funding in uealive ways to buy in add￿•>￿1 resources. create sensory spaces, lo trial
new approaches or to supplement staffing. SCF funding has helF*d schools lo re-engage students with learning, lower
thè anxièty associated with change and has made school an eaS￿r and more Su￿￿$$fUl place in which autistic students
can socialise and leam. Morè recent￿, we have funded staff development actiwlies lo inttease knowledge of autism
