SEN & Inclusive Play

What Is SEN and Inclusive Play?

SEN and inclusive play focuses on creating playground environments that support shared play for children with different abilities and needs. Inclusive play equipment is designed to encourage access, interaction and participation within the same play space, rather than separating users into different areas.

This approach helps create outdoor environments that support social interaction and shared experiences.

Supporting Inclusive Outdoor Play Environments

Inclusive playground equipment helps schools and councils create outdoor spaces that can be enjoyed by a broad range of users. By incorporating accessible and inclusive equipment, playgrounds can support shared play and encourage interaction between children of different abilities.

Inclusive play environments are often developed as part of new playground installations or as upgrades to existing play spaces.
