SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND DISABILITY (SEND)
Children have special educational/disability needs if they have a learning, communication, emotional or behavioural difficulty, that requires additional provision to be made for them.
At The Park Preschool, we value each child as an individual and are committed to helping all children fulfill their potential. We recognise that sometimes children face barriers to their learning and strive to provide those children with additional support. We ensure that all children are treated fairly and encouraged to take as full a part in the Park Preschool as they can.
We plan our curriculum carefully, following the interests and needs of individual children, which allows us to develop and extend our children's learning. As they succeed, their sense of achievement and self esteem increases.
We have Special Education Needs Co-ordinators (SENCO's) who have the initial contact with parents or staff who may have concerns about a child. They are also able to advise who to contact externally, if parents feel they need extra support. We are welcoming, inclusive at The Park Preschool and we work co-operatively with parents to ensure the best outcomes for all the children in our care.
SAFEGUARDING AND CHILD PROTECTION
At the Park Preschool, we fully recognise the responsibility to have arrangements in place to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children. Through their day-to-day contact with children and direct work with families, all staff, students and volunteers at The Park Preschool have a crucial role to play in noticing indicators of possible abuse or neglect and in referring them to the Designated Person for Child Protection. This policy sets our how The Park Preschool complies with statutory responsibilities relating to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children who attend the setting.
