Please find some important information below about the event.Venue: Radisson Blu Hotel &amp; Spa, Little Island, Cork.Date: Sunday 8th SeptemberTime: 7pm - 11.30pmTicket prices: €70 for one ticket, €120 for two tickets.

Please contact the hotel and mention the event to book. Dress Code:Whatever you want! We want to make sure everyone is able to attend the debs comfortably. If you'd like to wear your normal, day clothes - no problem! If you'd like to dress up a bit fancier - great! Want to come in cosplay? Totally fine!Food:The dinner will be served in buffet style to ensure we can accommodate as many preferences as possible. The booking form will ask you about your dietary requirements and food preferences. If you would like to bring your own safe foods with you, that is absolutely fine.Parents/Carers/Companions:We understand that this will be a new experience for many attending, and as such, parents and carers are absolutely welcome. Parents/carers who wish to drop their young adult off and stay in the hotel vicinity will not need to buy a ticket, however will not be able to stay in the event room.Parents/carers who wish or are required to stay with their young adult are absolutely welcome to, but will need to purchase a ticket. We kindly ask that only one parent/carer attends with their young adult if possible, as tickets are limited and we want as many young adults to get the opportunity as possible. If support needs require two parents/carers to be present, that is no problem at all.Young Adults with higher support needs:Please be assured that we are aware and accepting of the varied support needs that Autism encompasses, and all are welcome. We would kindly request that if your young adult has care requirements or support needs that require adult supervision and assistance, you will be required to attend with them as the event organisers will not be in a position to provide 1:1 care. If you have any questions about this, please do not hesitate to ask.Will there be alcohol?The question that I am sure is on all parents' minds! This event will serve alcohol, and will have a drinks reception on arrival. We request date of birth in the booking form, and will be operating a wristband system on the evening to identify those who are over the age of 18. The bar staff will be aware of this, and will ask to see the wristbands when purchasing alcohol.How is this event Autism-Friendly?It was of the utmost importance to us that this event be as accessible as possible for young autistic adults, so we have put a great deal of thought into every aspect of the night to ensure that it is as safe a space as possible. We have the Deputy CEO of AsIAm, Ireland's Autism Charity, looking after all matters of accessibility for the evening. Here are just a few of the measures that will be in place; <ul><li>A visual guide will be developed for the night and provided in advance</li><li>A video tour of the venue will be developed and provided in advance</li><li>A sensory map will be designed of the event room so people will know where particular sensory triggers will be</li><li>No dress code</li><li>All fidgets and sensory equipment are very welcome</li><li>Reduced lighting/no flashy lights during DJ set</li><li>Speakers lower than usual DJ set</li><li>We are thrilled to have The Sensory Pod setting up an incredible sensory area within the room for the evening, where people can retreat to in order to regulate if necessary.</li><li>Own food and drink can be brought</li><li>Parents/carers welcome</li><li>A seating plan will be made available in advance</li><li>Maximum of 100 people attending, including parents/carers</li></ul>
