two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Short breaks provide opportunities for disabled children and young people to spend time away from their primary carers. These include day, evening, overnight or weekend activities and take place in the child’s own home, the home of an approved carer, a residential or community setting.
Provision of short breaks are part of an integrated programme of support which is regularly reviewed and are additional services that are over and above the universal services expected and available to all families.
Through this commissioning process we want to find ways to fund services that provide children and young people the opportunity to access a range of fun, exciting activities whilst developing their personal skills making friends. These services also need to ensure parents/carers have a meaningful break from their ongoing provision of care.
For more information on short breaks eligibility and the other services provided by the Children and Young Adults with Disabilities Service please visit the Children and Young Adults with Disabilities page here
