We know that some of our carers suffer from abuse as a result of their situations, either in their own right or as a result of the conditions of those they help care for. These hateful actions of a few ignorant people can make life a misery for others and SCAFT will stand with you against these bullies. We offer a confidential support and reporting service, part of the network of accredited reporting centres in Essex. Whether you just want to talk through what's happening to you or want guidance and support in making a report the the police we can help. ... See MoreSee Less

Although we know that most of our families are hyper aware with regard to infection control already; due to reports of a significant number of children being sent home from school not telling their parents that they are required to self-isolate, we must remind everyone that if your child has been sent home from school they must self-isolate and NOT attend our groups until they have completed the specified quarantine period. ...

I'm very pleased to say that following a review of the new government and Public Health England rules on social gatherings we are able to resume our respite groups once again, as they are currently exempt from the Rule of 6.

We will restart on Monday 21st September with the Rayleigh Secondary Group. We would remind parents that although the guidance says we are safe to run these groups it is for them to make the ultimate decision as to whether it is safe for their children to attend, dependent on their personal circumstances.

We would also like to remind those attending that they must still observe social distancing and have a face covering for use where they cannot; those who do not comply may be sent home. Those who travel by taxi will be required to wear a face covering during the journey. If your child is not capable or willing to abide by these rules then it will be safer for all concerned if they do not attend until the situation allows more relaxed conditions. ... See MoreSee Less
