Summer, Reminders, Recommendations & more 4th July 2016 Dear All Remember, any queries at all regarding special educational needs and/or disabilities, please ask…
Summer holiday club for MLD SEND Family Voices have been seeking holiday activities for children and young people with moderate learning difficulties (MLD) for the past eighteen months – ever since the eligibility criteria was tightened for other activities. The response from Achieving for Children is the GEM Summer Holiday clubs; these are for children and young people with moderate learning difficulties who do not meet the eligibility criteria for other Disabled Children’s Teams services, or have not had Aiming High funded activities agreed for the summer. There is a cost of £15 per child, per session. The request is that you complete the attached form and ask for a maximum of eight sessions – the providers (AfC ISCD) cannot yet tell you what activities are available on each day. So, it’s a bit of a lottery…! The age range is 8 to 18 (we’ve checked and this means up to, but not including, age 18 – so age 17). We would love to hear your comments and feedback on this offer. Does it work for you? What would you like done differently? Would you like activities offered for children younger than age 8? Please let us know: sendfamilyvoices@outlook.com Application form attached. The deadline for applications is next Monday 11th July. If you would like more time to respond – please also let us know. Finally, search #summer in the Local Offer to find out what else is going on in the summer holidays https://www.afclocaloffer.org.uk/site_search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search_site%5Bterm%5D=%2 3Summer
