Description

The overarching purpose of the service is to provide Children and Young People (CYP) with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) with opportunities to take part in social and educational and leisure activities outside their home. These opportunities will be independent of the parents and carers of the CYP with SEND which will also provide them with a break. The activities on offer will be led by service users with the provider encouraging ambition and encouraging positive risk taking. They will be culturally appropriate and meet the racial, cultural, linguistic, gender, sexual orientation and religious needs of the CYP. They will provide opportunities for new experiences, promote friendships and supportive relationships. The activities will promote inclusion and promote skills to enable CYP with SEND to participate more fully in the community. Wiltshire (excluding Swindon) has over 15,000 CYP identified and as having SEN support and have been issued with a SEN plan. Of this number there are over 3500 CYP that have been with issued with an EHCP. Wiltshire is a large and rural county and services need to offer provision to a large geographical area. Transport links continue to develop and improve but travelling around Wiltshire continues to pose a challenge to the community. The Service is divided into 3 parts, A,B and C. These 3 parts of the service, form the Short Breaks Clubs and Activities Scheme for CYP and SEND. Part A: Bookable short break Activity Provision Part B: Positive Activities for Children Aged 13 - 18 years Part C: Positive Activities for Children aged 8 -18 years with an Autistic Spectrum Condition
