Tower Hamlets is working to improve outdoor play spaces across the borough and want to work with the community to help identify and find solutions for overcoming barriers to outdoor play for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and their families.
The aim of the project is to ensure play spaces across Tower Hamlets are areas that are enjoyable and accessible for every child, especially those with SEND as play is important for children’s development.
The survey will explore:
- How your children with SEND currently use play spaces.
- Any challenges or barriers they face.
- Your ideas for making these spaces more inclusive and enjoyable.
Share your views on how to make these play areas better for your children.
Come along to a school transition event for parents of children in Year 4 and 5 with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
There will be a presentation from the Special Educational Needs (SEN) department on the move to secondary school as well as information on independent travel and the Local Offer website with the Family Information Service.
You will also have an opportunity to meet secondary school Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCOs). Lunch will be provided.
