Parents Opening Doors

A card has been designed for families whom have a child or young person with a disability or additional need- this is not for all children only those with a disability or additional need. Written on the card states that the family may need to travel to safe place to exercise (i.e. not road side walks on housing estates), the child would need to accompany the family member in to the shop as the cannot be left alone.

How to get the card.

The family would need to register with POD’s, following this they would need to email Kerrie@podstelford.org explaining they have registered and they would like a card for their family. This will then enable the family within reason to go a little further for their exercise and somewhere safe and if approached they can show this card without having to explain.
