Children In Costumes

Twinkles is a community group for families with Special Educational Needs children in Norwich and the surrounding areas.

​

We organise events throughout the year that are specially created for SEN children. We find venues that are accessible and safe for children to have fun and be themselves. From exclusive hires or booking events during quiet times, we create a SEN friendly environment, free of judgement for our children to play. We want every one who attends to have fun, build friendships, nurture their special needs and promote their social and mental growth.

​

Being part of our group is about inclusivity and being supported, as well as supportive.

 

We want Twinkles to thrive and to do this we have a 2-rule Twinkles code that that we ask all members to respect and follow. This code ensures the group has fun, is friendly, and can be financially accessible for everyone.  

​

1) Being responsible: We ask that all parents/guardians are responsible for your children at all times. Twinkles is not a childcare service, and we ask that you are always present and ensure your children play within our behaviour guidelines.

 

2) Helping when you can: We organise lots of activities and days out, some of which include picnics and BBQ's, so we kindly ask that everyone contributes where they can. Fundraising is another aspect that we ask for your support on because we are predominantly self funded. Attending fundraisers is one way you can show your support for Twinkles and all SEN children and families across Norfolk and Suffolk.

All events can only be attended by ticketholders.  All tickets purchased are subject to our terms and conditions of sale.  Our terms and conditions of sale are:

All events are subject to the rules, safety rules, terms and conditions of the venue where applicable, it is the parents responsibility to make themselves aware of these.  All events must be attended by the parents or guardians who remain responsible for their child(ren) at all times, Twinkles do not offer any childcare and are at no time responsible for the safety of the children attending.  Parents must, therefore, attend and be responsible for their child(ren) at all times.

It is the responsibility of the ticket holder to ensure they are up to date with all our current policies, safeguarding guidelines and reporting policies - links to these are all available on this page.

As a group providing activities for SEN families, we promote a non-judgemental environment and ask that all parents are mindful and accepting of others and are aware that there will be a mix of abilities and disabilities within the group.  Challenging behaviour can be normal within our group of children, however, it should never impede the enjoyment of activities by others and bad behaviour, aggression, violence, bad language, bullying, intimidation and harassment must be addressed immediately by the parents.  We ask that parents immediately remove their child from a situation if any of the above is displayed by their child and noted by them or by others;  we ask parents to explain to their child why this is not acceptable and they can then ask the host volunteer to help integrate the child back into the activity.  If the child is wrongfully accused, the host volunteer will deal with this in the fairest manner they see possible.  

In the unlikely event where the parent does not remove their child and allows them to continue with this behaviour they will be asked to leave the activity and may lose their membership to the group.  

It is the parent or guardians responsibility to ensure they have adequate supervision when bringing more than one child, for example if one of your children requires constant supervision, then a second guardian must be present with them to help with the other children.  If a parent is unable to supervise all their children, they may be asked to leave the activity.
