3 Hello Section 1 - The guide intu Lakeside understands that for some people with autism spectrum conditions, sensory or additional needs a visit to a busy shopping centre can be a daunting experience. At intu Lakeside we want to give all our customers the best possible customer experience. This is why we have worked in partnership with Treetops school and NAS Thurrock to develop this guide, which aims to support individuals with autism spectrum conditions, sensory and additional needs and their parents/carers, during their visit to the centre. The guide will support you from the early stages of planning a visit, arriving at the centre, information about our amenities and services to what to do in an emergency. We aim to ensure that you have a pleasant and fun visit in which you feel safe and supported. Throughout your visit there are friendly trained staff on hand should you require assistance and of course any further information should you need it can be accessed from our customer service desk, customer lounge or online at We welcome any feedback about this pack and feedback forms can be found on page 20. Thank you and have fun. This detailed guide to intu Lakeside has been produced in partnership with Treetops school and NAS Thurrock. The purpose of this guide is to inform those individuals with autism and their parents/carers about the centre and to help them have an enjoyable visit. In addition, we have created an easy read visual guide to intu Lakeside, specifically for individuals with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC). If you, or the person you are visiting intu Lakeside with, has ASC you may want to download that guide instead. The guide includes an easy read map of intu Lakeside. There is also a list of our stores and restaurants on our website at: We hope you enjoy your visit. Sarah Rivett Community development manager Howard Oldstein Regional centre director 2 3

The autism awareness cards are to be used at your discretion, when and if an occasion presents itself where you wish to inform staff or other shoppers that you/ your companion has autism, quickly and discreetly. Section 12 - What to do if things go wrong? Approach one of our members of staff. Treetops School Hello! Thurrock My name is... I have an autism spectrum condition. Our customer service team Our security team Wristbands Our autism awareness wristbands can be collected at the customers services desk or customer lounge (see map). Our autism awareness wristbands are discreet orange bands. If an emergency or problematic situation were to occur the responding staff member(s) would be able to quickly and accurately identify you, or the person you are with, has autism and can therefore support you appropriately. The bands have been created to be worn at your discretion and for your reassurance. Our environmental services team Our staff are receiving autism awareness training. If you have chosen to wear our wristbands or carry our cards please share them with our staff during an emergency, they are in the centre to help you
