Surrey: childcare provision and funding - Surrey Additional Needs and Disabilities

Childcare providers have a legal duty to offer extra support to meet the needs of a child with a disability under the Equality Act 2010. This might include installing a ramp to allow wheelchair access to their premises, or training staff to use special equipment. 

They are not allowed to treat a child less favorably because of their disability and must make reasonable adjustments to meet the needs of children with SEND. They cannot charge more for a disabled child to attend their setting. 

They must also take into account the Special Educational Needs (SEN) Code of Practice, which requires them to meet the needs of children with special educational needs. 

Most providers will have a nominated special educational needs coordinator (SENCO) on their staff, who will be able to discuss the provision available for you and your child. 

They will also be able to apply to Surrey County Council to access additional support and funding to help pay for extra staff, training or resources that have been identified as necessary to allow your child to attend their setting.

Catterick: Netball 4 All - Looking for new Junior members

We have been asked to try and get netball up and running in the Catterick and Richmond area as there is currently no junior netball ANYWHERE in these areas. Young people wanting to access netball are having to travel miles, so we are looking to change this.

Netball 4 All is working hard to bring sessions to everyone aged 3 to 100, from Sept 24 at @catterickleisurecentre, and also looking to link with @richmondshirenetball to build a junior section for their club, to ensure everyone is catered for.

If you, your child, community, school would be interested in getting involved please contact us via the website and we will get started!!
