Policy Recommendations
-
Accessible transport options to access cultural/urban offers that consider safety, cost and time, e.g. private minibuses.
Free entry or subsidies to events should be extended to carers and not only the child/adult with SEND.
-
Need for better awareness and marketing of the free cultural offers available by engaging with existing charitable networks and supports.
Subsidised incentives to attend that make clear the quality of the provision and the accessibility for both carers as well as children with SEND.
-
Continuous programming of activities that go beyond occasional ‘shows’ throughout the year, including events that bring targeted, diverse groups in the form of musical encounters lead by trained practitioners.
Diverse provision of activities across the city in different neighbourhoods and locales, rather than just within central locations.
