About The Court
The Court supports people with learning disabilities through residential care within the North East Autism Society. The wider organisation also works with autistic people and their families through supported living, day services and short breaks.
Adult programmes use person-centred approaches and can include vocational and craft activities that help develop communication, social interaction and independent-living skills. Residential placements sit alongside education, employment support and family services, creating a broader support network around the individual. The Court is part of an organisation offering year-round residential placements for people who need continuing support.

Questions families ask
How much does The Court cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Court for its weekly fee. As a guide, Sunderland council paid on average £931 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask The Court whether it takes residents funded by Sunderland council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
