JAG Holiday HQ Winter HAF - Blackheath

JAG is committed to delivering a high-quality inclusion programme whilst promoting the welfare of all children. We take a holistic view of a child’s needs, making reasonable adjustments as far as possible.

We can support a child by making the following reasonable adjustments. This is a non-exhaustive list and there may be other adjustments that can be made based on a child’s individual needs if deemed reasonable by all parties.

• Accessibility aids including ramps and handrails
• Visual aids and other communication tools (Makaton)
• Implementation of JAG buddy box (range of sensory resources)
• Identified ‘safe’ space
• Specialised training
• Sensory circuits

We also recognise that some children may require a higher level of adult supervision to ensure their safety and that of others. If it is agreed that a child needs a higher level of adult supervision to support their individual needs, we would require for a ‘buddy’ to be assigned to the child.

The provision of a buddy is an additional service offered by JAG; this service is chargeable in addition to the standard fees payable to enable us to pay for the experience required for each individual case.

We can offer bespoke buddy services and packages including:
•    buddy employed by JAG
•    private buddy arrangements
•    agency buddy

If a child needs a buddy any attendance will be paused by JAG until a suitable buddy is in place. This is to ensure the health, safety and well-being of all parties.

JAG undertakes an inclusion consultation with parents ideally at least 4 weeks prior to the start of the holiday period to ensure adequate preparation and booking of the relevant team required.
