Universal provision
We are committed to ensuring children with disabilities or sensory impairments can access positive experiences and families can get the support they need within universal provision.
The majority of children in Lincolnshire who require services will receive them through universal provision within their local community. The same should be true of any child with a disability.
Universal provision, for example, sports clubs, youth clubs, libraries and children’s centres are really important in ensuring children and young people with disabilities have fun and enjoy themselves with friends, just like all children and young people.
If a child or young person and their families can meet their own support needs, they are encouraged and supported to do so. An assessment is not required to access universal provision.
There are a wide range of directly accessible services and sources of support that can be accessed via the Local Offer pages.
To help activity workers understand and meet a young person's needs, you can download the all about me booklet. It can be filled in electronically or printed off.
