Universal short breaks and activities open to disabled children
Mainstream community services are open to everyone. You do not need a social care assessment for your child to attend. These are called universal activities. Examples include:
- Youth clubs
- Uniformed groups (for example Cubs, Brownies)
- Leisure centres
- Nurseries and childminders
- Activity-based groups
Community services must consider how they can help children with disabilities to use their services.
We are working with local activity providers to help them make their services easier to access for children with disabilities.
You can find details of suitable activities through:
- Searching the Talk Community Directory
- Following Herefordshire SEND Local Offer on Facebook
- Your local community
- Your child's school
