Days Out
On Wednesday 21 June, Lisa Logan (NELC Strategic Lead – Environment) joined the SEND weekly parent carer meeting to talk about plans in our borough to install picnic areas and play equipment suitable for children and young people with SEND in many parks over the next year. This was really welcomed by parent carers and will support inclusivity for children and young people with SEND and enable them to eat and play and alongside their family and friends in our parks and recreation areas.
How you can help?
The equipment is expensive to buy and install and even more expensive to maintain and replace should damage occur through antisocial behaviour which can sometimes occur. Everyone in the community can help by reporting any incidents to the police either online or by calling 101.
