One World, One Summer, One Team, 4CT SEND HAF
4CT SEND Specialist HAF is a safe, structured and engaging holiday programme for children and young people aged 5–16 with complex or high-level SEND needs. Children enjoy small-group, adapted activities including sensory play, inclusive sports, STEM, cooking, creative arts, music and themed cultural sessions, with a healthy meal provided each day. Our staff use visual timetables, social stories, quiet spaces, and sensory resources to reduce anxiety and help children take part in ways that work for them. We work closely with parents and carers before sessions to understand communication needs, routines, triggers and personal care requirements. Support will be discussed at booking, where needed. Carers are welcome to share strategies and, where appropriate, support transitions. Wheelchair access and toilet/changing arrangements will be confirmed in advance so the right support is in place.
