What makes your activity inclusive?
We look to ensure our venues are wheelchair accessible via a ramp, and there are lifts to reach any upper floors if required, we also look to ensure there are accessible toilets. Within our team we have staff with knowledge and understanding of SEND training and autism needs. We aim to have an additional member of staff available on top of our normal ratios in case there is a need for 1:1 support. We have a good relationship with the local schools, and we may be able to collaborate with them to provide additional staff with prior arrangement.
Visuals are used across all our activities, to support those that need it, and our activities are flexible and designed to meet the needs of a range of children attending.
Whilst our website has most of the information that you may need, please request a phone call to discuss specific requirements before any provision starts, so we can ensure our facilities and activities are appropriate and we can make any reasonable adjustments needed in time.
Our emergency procedures and risk assessments consider a range of needs but will be updated as needed for specific children. If you have a child with specific medical needs, we will need to ensure that staff are trained to deliver this, or work with you to ensure a nurse or health professional is also able to provide support during the session.
What They Say About Us
“Energetic facilitation of group activity where learners had to recall the 8 wastes by posting on the board ensured all learners were actively participating and contributing in the session.”
“Expert use of questioning techniques to encourage learners to explore the answers for themselves created an environment for independent thinking and increased confidence in learners’ own abilities. Skilful exploration of learner’s thought process to address incorrect answer created a learner led discussion that saw learners apply problem-solving and analytical skills to identify the reason the answer was incorrect and agree the correct response.”
“Highly effective method of assigning roles within groups during tasks ensured full participation of every learner Prompt addressing of low-level disruption, such as inappropriate language and referral to displayed group agreements ensured that learning was not disrupted at any stage Expert group and time management skills driven through the session by both tutors instilled a realistic working structure and work ethic for learners by ensuring tasks are completed before moving on or taking a break.”
