How to request your place

Once you've found an activity, use the link in your HAF e-voucher to request a place. This is sent to you by your child's school. If you don't have the link, talk to your school. Or email KentHAF@theeducationpeople.org if your school can't help you.

Unsure how to use the booking system? Follow the step-by-step parent's guide to help you.

Keeping your child safe

All HAF partners follow clear standards to keep children safe, included and well supported. Read the partner standards if you’d like to know more.

Special educational needs and disabled children

HAF partners are committed to making their activities accessible to all.

Completing the All About Me form (PDF, 140.2 KB) helps staff understand your child’s needs so they feel safe, included and able to enjoy the activities in a way that works for them. You can send it to them directly before, or give it to staff on the day.
