π€ Are FUNDA Break Time activities inclusive to children with special educational needs (SEN)?
At FUNDA, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to participate in fun, engaging activities, regardless of their abilities. Our Breaktime activities run as part of both the mainstream Holiday Camps and the HAF (Holiday Activities and Food) programmes. π
π― What are Break Time activities?
Our Breaktime hours are designed to provide children with a structured yet enjoyable break during the day. These activities help children unwind, interact with their peers, and recharge so they can continue to make the most of their time at camp.
π Who can join the Break Time activities?
Mainstream Children:
While some Breaktime providers offer activities specifically tailored for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN), FUNDA aims to create inclusive experiences. This means we offer Breaktime hours within the mainstream holiday camps and HAF programmes, so all children can participate, including those with and without SEN.Children with SEN:
FUNDA is committed to supporting children with SEN by ensuring that they can access mainstream activities. We strive to create an inclusive environment where children of all abilities can enjoy the same opportunities.
π‘ Why does FUNDA do this?
Our goal is to foster an environment where every child feels included, supported, and able to enjoy holiday activities alongside their peers. By integrating SEN children into mainstream Breaktime activities, we aim to promote social inclusion and allow children to develop their confidence and social skills in a diverse setting. π
π How do we support children with SEN during Break Time?
While FUNDA's Breaktime activities are part of mainstream programmes, we offer the necessary support to ensure all children, including those with SEN, have an enjoyable and safe experience:
Tailored Support: We provide support and adjustments as needed to make sure children with SEN feel comfortable and fully included.
Inclusive Activities: Activities are designed to be engaging and accessible for children of varying abilities and needs. π§©
Safe Environment: We ensure all children have a safe, supportive environment where they can relax and enjoy themselves.
π« Encouraging social interaction
By offering inclusive Breaktime activities, children with SEN can interact with their peers in a natural and supportive setting. This not only helps develop their social skills but also promotes mutual understanding and respect among all participants. π¬π€
In summary, FUNDA's Breaktime activities are not exclusive to children with Special Educational Needs. We create an inclusive space where all children, regardless of their abilities, can enjoy and benefit from our holiday camps and programmes! π
