WHAT IS THE SHORT BREAKS BULLETIN?

The Short Breaks Bulletin brings together as many SEND inclusive activities, leisure and social opportunities in Wiltshire (and surrounding areas) as possible.

The activities listed may be for a specific age range or groups based on needs. Some activities are specifically run for children/young people with SEND, but there are also a number of activities that are inclusive of SEND and the organiser has requested that you contact before booking to discuss your child/young person’s needs/requirements to ensure they can be appropriately accommodated.

Anyone in Wiltshire can use the Short Breaks Bulletin to access inclusive opportunities for young people with SEND.

If you chose the Barnardo’s Activity Club or COMBO option when registering for the Short Breaks Scheme, you should be receiving direct contact from Barnardo’s regarding options for booking these activity clubs.

How to use the Short Breaks Bulletin: -

 Each activity in the Contents has been given an item number which corresponds to the activity name.

 Find out more about a specific activity, who to contact and how to book by looking up the item number on the providers’ contact list and using the contacts or web link provided.

 You may find QR Codes for certain activities or for our registration form; you may be able to simply open your camera and they will automatically scan, or you may have to download a QR scanning app (for free). Once scanned, they will take you directly to the website link.

Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy at the time of going to print, but ALWAYS check to see whether there have been any changes to times/dates/availability of any sessions advertised before booking.

35. Riding for the Disabled Associations

RDA Groups are individual charities and are run by highly qualified instructors and trained volunteers.

Groups vary in size, opening times and in the activities they offer, but all them operate to the same high standards of training, professionalism and care.

All Groups will focus on riding as therapy, but this is not all… as well as riding, many Groups offer a variety of equestrian disciplines including carriage driving, showjumping, vaulting and endurance riding. As well as other skills such as learning to care for the horses.

You may just want to attend your Group and enjoy the activities on offer, but if you’d like to get more involved there’s also always opportunities to volunteer.

Find your nearest group here:

Useful Information for Parent Carers

Inclusion funding for settings

Early Years Inclusion Support Funding is a financial contribution for early years settings towards the inclusion of children aged 0-5 who have a disability or difficulty that creates a barrier to their learning.

The funding is ‘Needs Led’.

An Early Years Inclusion Officer and your setting will discuss any additional support required, in partnership with parents. The funding can be used by the setting for training, resources or support which is additional to or different from what is normally expected to be provided within your setting. It is neither the expectation nor intention that the additional funding will provide 1-1 continuous support.
