For many children on the autism spectrum, a conventional classroom can be an overwhelming and inaccessible place. Sensory sensitivities, unpredictable social dynamics, fast-paced instruction and rigid timetabling can all act as barriers - not because autistic children lack ability, but because the environment is rarely designed with their needs in mind. The result is often frustration, disengagement, or school-related anxiety that can follow a child for years.

Launched in Spring 2026 to replace the old STaTS framework, RM6376 is the government’s attempt to standardise how you source supply staff and permanent professionals. While it offers a structured route to market, it has also sparked a wave of confusion.
