Short Breaks - Specialist Inclusion Project

Short breaks provide children/young people with disabilities an opportunity to have an enjoyable experience with or without their primary carers. It allows carers to have a break from their caring responsibilities.

This includes after school, evening, weekend, and school holidays.  For example, popular after school clubs, dance and drama, sports and when available Summer Camps that could offer overnight residential stays during the Summer Holidays.  We can also offer, based on assessed need, funding for 1:1 support in the community or activities of your choice. 

Accessing a short break is via an assessment of need which highlights the most suitable activity to meet the needs of each child and young person.
