Bi-borough inclusion for disabled children

As part of the Short Breaks offer, you might decide that your child would like to access a mainstream provision for their Short Break. 

The Bi-borough (Kensington & Chelsea, and Westminster) employ an Inclusion Officer who can help you with this process. 

If this is something you are thinking about, then please contact: 

Rafeal Grant

Telephone: 07712236525

Rafael can advise you on local after-school clubs and holiday playschemes. 

Some children who attend mainstream provision may need a worker to support them.

Inclusion Pathway if your child needs additional support

1. Referral into the Short Breaks Team
   
   
2. Light Touch Assessment
   
   
3. Care Support Package agreed
   
   
4. Inclusion Officer will offer to visit you and your child to discuss options (usually completed within 2 weeks)
   
   
5. Child profile completed
   
   
6. Inclusion Officer will source worker for your child - if needed
   Sometimes the provision will provide this and sometimes the worker comes from a bank of playworkers in the Short Breaks Team.
7. After six months, Rafael will review your child's experience at the setting.
   Sometimes by then the setting feels confident to support your child without the need for a 1 to 1 worker, or the worker can be shared with another disabled child. 
8. Rafael will ensure that you are aware of your child's progress and keep you informed around the need for the worker or not.
