Bath and North East Somerset Council is committed to all children and young people having access to high quality play provision.  We recognise that disabled children and young people may require additional support to be able to access play opportunities.   The Play Team manage a range of contracts with voluntary sector play providers who provide play provision which is specifically for disabled children.
