The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Scottish Autism and Barclays on their new partnership to develop an inclusive and accessible environment for autistic employees at the new state-of-the-art Barclays campus under construction in Glasgow, which brings with it 2,500 new financial services jobs for Scotland; recognises Barclays’ commitment to working collaboratively to share best practices and remove barriers to employment; appreciates that Scottish Autism was developed by a group of parents from Alloa in 1968 and is now a leading authority and advocate for good autism practice; understands that a team of specialists from Scottish Autism will be on hand throughout the project, providing advice and support on best practice when creating accessible environments for autistic people; notes that the team will be working closely with the Autism Focus Group at Barclays to ensure that the voice of autistic employees is heard throughout the project so that they are able to inform the development of an inclusive and accessible working environment; welcomes the dedicated work of Scottish Autism to enable autistic people to lead happy, healthy and fulfilling lives, and wishes this partnership all the best for the future.
