We want to hear from disabled children and young people, parents carers and service providers about how we can improve the short breaks service offer.
What are short breaks
Short breaks are for children with disabilities and their families. A short break might include carer support in the community, group activities such as after school or holidays clubs. The support can include for example personal care, support with independence skills, or for sports or play activities.
To access short breaks children, need to be under 18 years old, be resident in H&F and have a physical or mental impairment that has a 'substantial' and 'long-term' negative effect on their ability to do everyday activities. The council has a duty to provide short breaks where an assessment identifies they are necessary to meet the needs of the child and their family.
The last comprehensive review of short breaks was implemented in 2018 with the building and delivery of in-house services from the Stephen Wiltshire centre, and the commissioning of services from local providers.
This consultation has now closed but we welcome your feedback at anytime.
If you would like to give feedback about short breaks provision you can do so via email to becky.powell@lbhf.gov.uk
