Send Support
“…this week my little one with lots of additional needs has….loved it. I was a bit nervous leaving her with others that don’t know her but they’ve dealt with her amazingly. Thank you.” HAF Parent/Carer
“He is autistic and doesn’t engage at all well at school. He was so nervous about attending however the staff knew his situation and were amazing…so he knew what to expect. On the day they were on hand straight away and really de-sensitized him, he couldn’t stop talking each day and showing us what he had been doing. Best of all he made his first friend. This scheme is amazing!” HAF Parent/Carer
In Portsmouth City we have been working closely with our activity providers to make sure they are as inclusive and accessible as possible. We also have SEND specific activities on offer. We have also worked with local independent charity, Enable Ability, to offer activities specifically for children and young people with SEND. We are working hard to ensure more mainstream provision can appropriately support SEND during the HAF Fun Pompey programme. Enableability have hosted a training workshop for ‘Confidence in SEND’ and many participants with additional needs had a fantastic experience in 2021 in our mainstream provision.
Running from Monday 11 April – Friday 22 April
