Yes, we want to make sure you feel safe, comfortable and cared for when you come to the sessions. In order for us to achieve this care we need to know about your needs so we actively encourage you to let us know any health conditions/disabilities/access needs you and your tot have.
Please call/text/whatsapp Kerry on 07907 823125 and she can chat with you to explore any specific needs you may have in relation to the sessions (including spatial, sensory, social, physical and mental) so you can feel safe and your needs are understood. This information is completely confidential and will not be shared.
I may feel nervous and would like someone I know to come with me is that ok? Yes if you would like someone you know to come with you to support you then they are welcome to come.
Can I bring my dog? As the session is an open drop-in session for everyone you are entitled to bring your dog should you wish to. What we ask is that you consider the temperament of your dog in relation to other humans and other dogs, as we want the session to be relaxing and stress free for everyone. If you do bring your dog we will just ask you to sign an agreement stating that you take full responsibility for your dog.
I’m not keen on dogs – please be aware that the session is open to everyone so there may be participants who might bring their dog and there will be dog’s and their owners walking in the park. Any participant bringing a dog will need to have the dog on the lead at all times and should there be any dogs at the session we will monitor the impact this has on participants to ensure it is a positive experience.
