Short break groups and activities
There are lots of groups and activities open to any child or young person who has a special educational need and/or disability. Families can access these groups and activities themselves and will need to pay a contribution to attend most groups.
Some groups are run by specially trained staff which means that parent carers do not have to stay with their children. You or a carer might have to stay with your child at other groups, depending on the group or the needs of your child.
Ready, Steady Worcestershire - Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme is a Department for Education (DfE) funded programme aimed at enabling children and young people in receipt of benefits- related free school meals (FSM) to attend school holiday activities during Easter, summer and Christmas. Children and young people with an EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) may also be eligible. All the activity clubs are inclusive of children with SEND, and parents are invited to book onto any of the mainstream activity days, though it is important to provide as much information about your child to providers, when booking on. There are also some specialised SEND clubs on offer. To find out more, check eligibility and sign up please visit:
