Short breaks information 

Sometimes, families who have children or young people with disabilities/or health conditions benefit from a break from their caring responsibilities. Short Breaks give children and young people who have a disability the opportunity to join in an enjoyable activity away from their parents/carers.  Short Breaks allow children and young people to take part in activities, make friends, develop independence and have fun. Short Breaks also provide parents/carers a break from caring responsibilities.

There are three levels of short breaks.

-Universal

-Targeted 

-Specialist

Children will access the Universal short breaks to start with and depending on levels of need may be referred to higher levels of support.
