At POP Collective CIC, inclusion is the foundation of everything we do.

Every young person, regardless of ability, background or confidence level, deserves access to high-quality performing arts in a safe, welcoming space.

JUST SPACE TO GROW

HOW WE MAKE SESSIONS INCLUSIVE

Trained, understanding staff.
All adults receive training in:

  • SEND Awareness
  • Safeguarding
  • Neurodiversity
  • Positive Behaviour Support
  • Emotional Reguation & De-escalation

Extra support in every class

Every session is supported by performing arts tutors, teaching assistants or trained volunteers, so children can always get help or encouragement without ever being singled out.

Smaller group sizes

More attention
More connection
More confidence

Clear structure and routine

Visual timetables, step-by-step explanations and consistent routines reduce anxiety and support understanding.

Flexible participation

Children can join in at their own pace, take breaks when needed, choose how they contribute and build confidence gently.

Working with families

Parents/carers know their child best. We listen and adapt. We can create individual support plans if needed.

Supporting emotional wellbeing

We provide calm spaces, movement breaks, emotional check-ins and lots of encouragement. We celebrate effort, not perfection.

Accessible venues

Wheelchair accessible, ground floor or lift access, safe and clearly signposted, accessible toilets, sensory-aware where possible. Tell us your access needs and we will work with you.
