Programme Overview
Our SEN Programme supports children with learning disabilities to acquire vital safety skills, helping them to become more independent in everyday life. We provide a safe, realistic learning environment where students can practice handling various real-life situations.
Who We Educate
Target Audience: SEN school groups with a range of additional needs
Age group: Students aged 11-19
How is the Programme Taught
Students engage in practical, hands-on scenarios that simulate everyday challenges, such as:
- Making responsible choices
- Identifying everyday risks and hazards
- Reacting to emergency situations
These activities are carried out in small groups with our trained Volunteer Guides. Each group should ideally be accompanied by a member of school staff to provide additional support and enhance learning.
Session Length: 2 hours
