For more information on opportunities available log on to www.youngealing.co.uk or visit www.futureversity.org for information on free courses and activities available over the summer holidays Development Support for Out of School Providers SEN and Inclusion Ealing Council’s Play Service department funds out of school providers, After School Clubs, Breakfast Clubs and Holiday Play schemes to ensure they are inclusive to all? The way we do this is by paying the additional costs of a staff member required for PA/1:1 care and to cover the costs of any specialist equipment required in order to meet your child’s needs. This way the provider doesn’t incur additional costs and you as a parent/carer only pays the standard childcare fee. So if you know of an After School, Breakfast or Holiday Club you wish your child to attend, approach the provision, remind them that there’s support available from the out of school inclusion officer Fran Regan and that funding could be applied for through commissioning. Alternatively contact the Family Information Service who can offer you and your family a brokerage service and further advice and support.
