She works closely with the rest of the team to ensure that policies reflect the needs of autistic people and their families.

Andy's role also includes running the National Autistic Society’s School Exclusion Helpline, which supports parents and carers of autistic children and young people, who have been excluded from school or college, or are at risk of exclusion.
