The London Borough of Hounslow is procuring a framework that works with multiple providers offering different services who can deliver a range of short break activities for disabled children and young people up to the age of 18 years.
Within Hounslow the short breaks on offer provide both specialist activities and access to non-specialist activities for disabled children and young people up to the age of 18 years.
We want to continue to offer a short breaks programme with greater flexibility with regard to when the short break is taken and the length of the short break. We would want to provide short breaks activities across the Borough of Hounslow that minimise travelling.
