The Green Light Toolkit

The Green Light Toolkit from the National Development Team for Inclusion (NDTI, 2017) is a self-audit assessment framework for use in mental health services. The toolkit offers guidance on making service improvements to help mental health services respond more effectively to people with learning disabilities and/or autism who use their services.

Undertaking the Green Light Toolkit audit ensures compliance with:

  • Autism Act (2009)

  • CQC Good communication standards

  • Equality Act (2010)

  • Health and Social Care Act (2012)

  • NHS England Accessible Information Standards (2015)

  • NICE guidance (NG11; NG54; CG142)
