How to cope in the heat

Every child and young person needs support to help them learn or engage with activities. Some need additional or different support from those of the same age to ensure that everyone benefits from all they participate in. We want to address some of the important questions around these needs. Welcome to ‘All inclusive’.

“Phew! Wot A Scorcher!” scream the newspaper headlines as the sunny spell continues and temperatures are forecast to rise to new record levels once again. Yet, for families with children with additional needs, and the children’s and families workers that look after them, the screams are all too real as they and their children struggle to cope with the heat, especially if going out for a church trip, a camp or a Christian festival.
