Westfield London understands that guests with additional sensory needs may find visiting our centre a daunting experience. To help support guest’s visits, we offer sensory packs that have been selected with key sensory items to offer children and adults a broad range of sensory opportunities and therapeutic benefits.And they are bright red, and labelled, so everyobe can see you are a special person, not just one of the hoi polloi.
The pack has been designed to support people living with a wide range of disabilities who are likely to benefit from sensory resources to make their shopping experience more enjoyable.
I work in Stratford and have to go through Westfield - what would make it more enjoyable for me is a free stab-vest or a compete ban on diversity. It would certainly make it safer.
But this is not what the people who are the target of this advert want, they want the cachet of being different, special and singled out for special treatment and attention.
Our sensory packs contain items such as ear defenders and sunglasses to help with noise and light sensitivity, fiddle toys to keep hands busy and relieve stress and feeling fans to express how you are feeling.
I thought about Googling ‘feeling fans’ to find out what they are but thought better of it. I cannot be doing with any more coddling of pathetic kids and adults for whom the best advice would be ‘GROW UP!’
Our sensory packs can be hired at Guest Services.
Pity you can't hire a backbone. That's what would do these people the most good.
