SEND in Museums (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities)

“We believe that museums are transformative spaces that can inspire moments of wonder, magical discovery and meaningful engagement with all visitors. SEND [Special Educational Needs and Disabilities] children and young people have the right to those same experiences and their inclusion is valuable not just to their own development and wellbeing but to that of their families, friends, museum staff and the wider local community.

 

Our aim is to embed a commitment to SEND audiences within the museum sector by 2025 and see inclusive staff, services and facilities as standard practice. This, in turn, will make a positive impact on social inclusion and wellbeing by providing equal access to culture which every child is entitled to.” (About)
