No, this seems like some sort of promotion or advert, but reality is quite the opposite of “offer help/advice”. they’re certainly not interested in offering any advice other than “go away and don’t bother us”. And they seemed confused that I even tried calling them. Unless there is referral from case coordinator they are not offering any advice or support meanwhile.
In our recent discussion about childcare wraparound (ie after school clubs) was a topic that came up. Please consider completing this National Wraparound Childcare Programme – Survey for Parent Carers
As part of the National Wraparound Childcare Programme the Department for Education, with the support of the National Network of Parent Carer Forums, have developed a survey to better understand to what extent the current wraparound childcare offer for primary age children meets the needs of parents and children with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND). We are looking for parents of primary age children with a special educational need or disability to complete this survey.
Wraparound childcare is childcare that ‘wraps around’ the conventional school day. For the purposes of this programme, we are using the term ‘wraparound childcare’ to refer to provision directly before and after the school day during school term time for primary school age children. The purpose of this survey is to improve understanding of the types of wraparound provision that parents are accessing, the reasons for this, and any barriers they have faced when trying to find childcare that meets their child’s needs.
Survey participation is voluntary, and the data collected is completely anonymous. Learning from this survey will be factored into the National Wraparound Programme and support the Department for Education to understand how they can increase the inclusivity and accessibility of the programme.
