Talking to parents of disabled children about inclusive play

Yesterday I spent an afternoon talking to parents about inclusive play - and the opportunities available for their disabled children to attend after school clubs, holiday playschemes and other leisure activities with support in place.

Barnet has a fabulous organisation - IPOP - who can provide such support. Check out their details on www.ipop.org.uk

The principle is that every child should be able to access any play opportunity. IPOP work to remove barriers to access, by providing extra support - and also by working with play and leisure providers to help them to develop their inclusive practices. Really good stuff - and these parents definitely thought so.
