Glasgow City Council is set to hold a number of autism training days for staff across the city.

It comes as part of their Autism Aware Glasgow programme, which aims to deliver the 'best possible' experience of the city for people with autism.

Staff from participating venues will begin training on May 31 and can nominate between one and four 'Autism Champions' to take part.
