Trampoline sessions for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

Wednesday, 31 July 2019

We have teamed up with SNAP Parent Carer Forum to offer trampolining sessions at Sandy Sports Centre.

This will take place on Wednesday, 21 August for families who have children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

The sessions, which are part of a series of summer holiday events for children with SEND across Central Bedfordshire, are an opportunity for the whole family to attend an event together and share experiences with other families who also have a child with SEND.

The sessions available are:

  • 9.30 to 10.30am
  • 10.45 to 11.45am
  • midday to 1pm

The session costs £2.50 per child per session. To book a place call 01767681872. Parents will be expected to supervise their children during the session.

We have also updated our online SEND Local Offer with information on local accessible services and support, again working in partnership with the SNAP Parent Carer Forum to map services that support children and young people with SEND.

Our Family Information Directory has also been revamped with increased functionality to help residents find services, support groups, activities, events and more. The website will continue to offer free impartial information and signposting for families with children aged 0 to 19 (up to 25 years for those with additional needs), helping users get the most out of the information and services available in the community and online, such as:

  • childcare options, including childminders, pre-schools, nurseries and after school clubs
  • help with childcare costs
  • activities and groups
  • find out What’s On at your local Children’s Centre
