Terms and conditions

About this service

Leeds Confed Autism Questionnaire helps Leeds GP Confederation collect information for autism-related support, advice, appointments and possible assessment referral. It supports, but does not replace, professional or clinical judgement and does not itself provide a diagnosis.

StrideMed Group Limited provides the questionnaire technology on behalf of Leeds GP Confederation.

Who may use it

Only use this questionnaire if you have been given access by the relevant NHS service or organisation. Do not share the access code or use the service to submit information about another person without appropriate authority.

You are responsible for providing information that is accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge. You can review and change your answers before submitting.

Saving your progress

When secure saving is available, the service saves an encrypted copy of your progress in this browser. Incomplete progress is kept for up to 30 days from the start of its secure storage session, failed submissions for up to 7 days, and a submitted copy for up to 24 hours; the original session expiry can make these periods shorter. A secure storage-session cookie expires with the applicable saved state. If saving is unavailable, progress may be lost when you leave or reload.

You can clear saved data at any time. If you use a shared or public device, you should clear it when finished. Clearing browser data, losing access to the device or allowing the storage session to expire may permanently remove your saved progress.

Submitting and receiving your report

When you submit, your answers and PDF report are sent to the approved Leeds GP Confederation service team for review. You can view and download your report through this website for 24 hours after successful submission; it is not emailed to you.

Check your answers carefully before submitting. Contact the service if you later believe important information is wrong or missing.

Submission does not guarantee an appointment, diagnosis, referral or particular outcome. The service team will review the information and decide appropriate next steps.

Not an emergency service

This questionnaire is not monitored as an emergency or crisis service and should not be used to request urgent help.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, call NHS 111 and select option 2. If there is immediate risk of serious harm, call 999 or go to your nearest A&E.

Acceptable use

Do not attempt to gain unauthorised access, interfere with the service, introduce malicious software, submit deliberately unlawful or misleading material, or use the service in a way that could harm another person or the service.

Access may be restricted where reasonably necessary to protect patients, staff, information or service security.

Privacy and acceptance

The Privacy Policy explains how personal information is used, shared, protected and retained. Please read it before starting the questionnaire.

Confirming that you have read this information and accepting these terms does not provide consent as the legal basis for processing health, safeguarding or criminal-offence information. Leeds GP Confederation uses the legal bases described in the Privacy Policy for direct care and related safeguarding.

Availability and responsibility

The service may occasionally be unavailable, updated, paused or withdrawn to maintain security, accuracy or availability. We will take reasonable steps to operate it safely but cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.

Nothing in these terms excludes responsibilities that cannot lawfully be excluded, including responsibilities for data protection, confidentiality or patient safety.

Changes and contact

These terms and the Privacy Policy may be updated when the service, law or approved information-governance arrangements change. The updated date is shown at the top of each page.
