JOIN US In the Holidays for Children & Young People with Disabilities

Join-Us SEND Holiday Activity Sessions

Join-Us provides fun, multi-activity play opportunities for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) who are residents of Redcar & Cleveland and are aged 5 to 17 years.

To ensure groups meet regulatory requirements and maintain appropriate staffing ratios, sessions for children aged 5 up to 8 years run for 2 hours on either a morning or afternoon.

Children and young people aged 8 years and over can access a 5 hour session.

Various sites are used across the Borough with sessions costing £2.50 or £5.00 (payable on attendance).

Places are booked through the Eventbrite website on a first come, first served basis.

A member of staff will contact parents/carers to discuss any individual support needs prior to a child/young persons first attendance to ensure that appropriate support can be provided during sessions.

Children and young people attending should wear appropriate clothing, have a packed lunch/snacks/drinks (if attending the 5 hour sessions) and bring wipes/pads/pull-ups if needed.

Any medication needed whilst in sessions must be supplied in a clearly labelled and lockable container.

PLEASE NOTE: These Sessions Do Not Provide One-to-One Support

If your child has previously been identified by our service as requiring one-to-one support booking onto these sessions will not guarantee a place.

Children and young people who require one-to-one support can access activities through the Join-Us "In the Holidays" 1 to 1 Sessions (also available to book via Eventbrite).

We reserve the right to review bookings where a child's support needs indicate that a one-to-one provision would be required to ensure their safety, wellbeing, and successful participation in activities.
