A summary
DSDT is proud to present a new provision under Brighton and Hove Short Breaks, welcome to the Link Up! Link Up is specifically designed to engage other young people with SEND needs that are currently not covered by our Down Syndrome Provision. At present, we are registered to provide day camps exclusively for children and young people aged 8 years and older who require a high level of support, either 1 to 1 or 2 to 1 if necessary. We also offer Personal and Intimate Care if and when needed. Our day camp program includes a variety of scheduled activities as well as many free-flow options, necessitating a high staff-to-child ratio for effective implementation. We value feedback from our families, which helps us tailor our activities to personal preferences, thereby increasing motivation, engagement, and overall enjoyment of our sessions. Over the years, our successful day camps have included arts and crafts, cooking, multi-sports, music sessions, and movie showings. We also provide a space to relax and hang out, sensory spaces and objects to cater for sensory issues. We often host special events or invite guest professionals. Examples include bouncy assault courses, nerf gun battles, petting zoos, bubble shows, and more.

FAQs
Q: Will my young person be able to attend as they are already registered with DSDT? A: No, the Link Up provision is an additional provision to support other SEND needs, DS specific activities are available. Q: Is this first come first serve? A: No, our team are working closely with B&HCC, Tudor House and Drove Road to ensure fairness and equal distribution of sessions amongst all the young people looking to join us this summer. Q: Is Link Up for this Summer only? A: No! The 7 summer sessions currently offered are just the beginning. We believe all young people with SEND needs should have access to appropriate and beneficial provisions, therefore we want to continue offering services and support in the long term and the feedback and development of Link Up is just the start.

Cancellation Policy
No refunds are given except in the case of a cancellation by the Mentor.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
