Caroline Winstanley - Autism Specialist

Hi. It's been a while! Just to let you know that we have a small number of ASD assessment appointments available in the next few months.

Hi Everyone, I have some exciting news to share. I will be standing in my local elections for the Social Democrats. I won't be posting further about this on this page, but if you would like to find out more or follow my campaign, please follow the links below.

I'm excited to share that I’ve just been selected to stand as a Social Democrats candidate for the Bray West Area (which includes parts of Bray, Kilmacanoge & Enniskerry) in the upcoming local elections to Wicklow County Council.

I joined the Social Democrats because I believe in a fair and inclusive society that doesn’t leave anyone behind. This will be the focus of my campaign and work as a Councillor. I want to see real change in local housing provision and improved local investment in education, public services, healthcare, the environment, and transport.

If you have any questions, or would like to get involved in my campaign, I’d love to hear from you. You can follow the progress of my campaign on social media and support my campaign here -
