Special Educational Needs Policy: 

 

We believe that all children are of equal value and that we have the responsibility to ensure high-quality, balanced provision for all children in our care to help them to reach their full potential as learners. Children with special educational needs are entitled to exactly the same access and opportunity as all other children. Children with special educational needs have the right and entitlement to be fully included in all activities within the club. We have a responsibility to meet the needs of all children, including those with special educational needs. The nature of support given to children with special educational needs should not be a barrier to children being fully included in my setting and in the communities in which they live and learn.

Activities will be adapted to enable all children the opportunity to take part. The company will endeavour to ensure that all children’s individual needs are met. Children will be treated as individuals and respected. Medical, cultural and dietary needs will be met. The Club will try to accommodate parental needs when planning meetings and events.

Principles

The entitlement of all children to receive a broad and balanced curriculum; they have a right to achieve success and fulfilment of their potential.
