A wheelchair-accessible roundabout significantly enhances the play experience in SEN schools by providing an inclusive, engaging, and fun environment for children with mobility challenges. This innovative play equipment fosters social interaction among peers, allowing children of varying abilities to participate in shared play activities, which is crucial for developing communication skills and friendships.
While it also encourages physical activity, promoting overall health and well-being while addressing the critical issue of limited accessible play options.
Our SEN roundabout has been designed to accommodate various types of wheelchairs, ensuring an inclusive play experience for all children, regardless of their mobility needs.
It features a spacious platform that allows for easy access and manoeuvrability, making it suitable for manual and powered wheelchairs alike.
However, please note that it is recommended to check the wheelchair’s suitability for the roundabout before engaging in play, and brakes must be applied when in the roundabout.
The installation of Rhino Play’s wheelchair-accessible Roundabout requires careful attention to specific guidelines to ensure safety and accessibility for all users.
It is essential to establish a level, stable surface that meets the recommended dimensions for the roundabout, accommodating wheelchair access and providing ample space for movement.
Whilst complying with local safety regulations and accessibility standards, such as the Equality Act 2010, ensuring that the surrounding area is free from obstacles and has appropriate safety surfacing to minimise risks of injury.
Proper inspections and maintenance checks are crucial to guarantee the roundabout’s stability and longevity, allowing SEN schools and facilities to create a welcoming and inclusive play environment that fosters social interaction and physical activity among children with diverse abilities.
At Rhino Play, our team of dedicated installers are highly-qualified and up to date with all specific regulations needed for installation.
