Due to massive demand, the National Autistic Society now requires further volunteers to help with their pioneering Advocacy for Education service. Volunteers provide a range of advice and support on special educational needs entitlements and are supported by legal firm Clifford Chance who are providing representation at tribunal free of charge.
