Families Commissioning Service of City of Wolverhampton Council would like to invite you and Providers with relevant experience who have expressed an interest for the Market Engagement Event in relation to these services.
The service:
• is for the provision of specialist overnight short breaks at a location away from the home, often in a residential setting for children and young people with SEND. It is intended to give parents and carers a break from their caring role and support in continuing to care for their child or young person.
• Parents of children and young people with complex needs may need a break from their caring role, which can include caring for a child or young person who does not sleep through the night or need constant supervision and stimulation.
• Children and young people with complex needs are less likely to spend time away from home with others of a similar age.
• The provision of overnight short breaks at a location away from the home allows both parents and carers and children and young people a valuable break. It gives children and young people an opportunity to meet with friends and take part in leisure activities they may not normally have access to as well as having some independence from their families.
