New SEND service at Warrington Youth Zone

Posted

From Monday 29 April, Warrington Youth Zone will be offering personal care (including toileting, medication administering and PEG feeding) on some of our services.

This service will cost 50p a session.

We anticipate a high demand for this service. We have been carefully considering the fairest way to allocate spaces whilst also managing the complex workload it takes to collect all the data needed for each young person to attend safely.

We will be running the service in four-week cohorts (term time only) and managing allocations via a rolling waiting list. Eg: once a young person has attended a four-week cohort, they will re-join the waiting list.

We will then contact you when it is their turn again for another four-week cohort. This process will repeat as long as the young person wants to attend and is eligible. You will not need to reapply for this service again.

Senior Sessions (young people age 13+)
