How Can Holiday Clubs & Children’s Parties Be More Inclusive?
Social engagement is extremely important in a child’s development. So, what is it like to reach out to a child with additional needs?
Let’s look at some practical examples of how we can successfully get all children involved with activities such asholiday clubs, children’s partiesandsummer holiday camps:
Involve an Inclusion Leader, or SENCO The role of an inclusion leader, or Special Educational Needs Co-Ordinator (SENCO) is a very important one. They can help us to understand the experiences of a child, and why it might be difficult for them to participate.
Safeguarding a child’s additional needs. There are other considerations to take into account. Some children for example will need help with toilet arrangements. In such cases, applicable guidelines must be followed to protect the child.
Familiar activity engagement approach Learning can be fun and inspiring when we are engaged. This applies to all children, regardless of their needs.
Inclusivity and care make a difference Providing care and inclusivity for children helps everyone at holiday clubs, camps and children’s partiesfeel accepted and part of a group.
A culture of care, support and inclusivity can result in an amazing experience, one that can be truly transformative for all.
