Students who have been participating in an extensive Pupil Voice project about autism support celebrated at a launch event at Liverpool Lighthouse this week.

Liverpool City Council have been partnering with the Liverpool Parent Carer Forum and Alder Hey as part of the National Autism in Schools Project.

The students have been part of a team who have developed an awareness video which was launched at the event. They also got the opportunity to meet Olympic Athelete Kiera Byland who has represented GB at the Special Olympics in Loas Angeles and Abu Dhabi, winning six gold medals, and who herself has autism and dyspraxia.

Well done to all of the students involved!
