1. Please tell us what summer was like for you. What did you and your child do during the holiday period?

Please tell us about any places or activities that work well and anything that enabled any summer activities (friends and family / good places to go / playparks, services etc). Please list as many as possible.

2. In addition to the above, are there any other places / activities that you would recommend to families with children with additional support needs?
3. Were there other things you wanted to do that you couldn’t?

Please tell us about other places/activities that you or your child would have liked to go or do but couldn’t and if so what made this too difficult?

4. How did the holiday period and access to different places and activities impact you?

Please tell us about what effect the summer holidays had on you and your wider family.  e.g. What was particularly memorable for your and your family?  Did you feel restricted in any way? Were there any impacts on  your work / relationships?  Did this impact on arrangements during term time?

5. What could make the summer holidays better for you and your child?

Please tell us what improvements you think could be made/ what would better look like? What changes would make things easier for you and your child to be included?
