the Spectrum 10K Consultation

HVM’s Involvement in the Spectrum 10K Consultation

In October 2021 Hopkins Van Mil (HVM) was commissioned in a procurement process run by the the Autism Research Centre at the University of Cambridge to work on the Spectrum 10K consultation. This will be a large-scale and diverse programme of engagement with the autistic community.
