Sometimes parents and carers who have children or young people with SEND feel that they could benefit from a break from their caring responsibilities.
Here you can find information about if you or your child or young person is eligible for:
- Community Short Breaks: Activities that last for a couple of hours during term time and holiday periods.
- Targeted Short Breaks: for children or young people with more complex disabilities/additional needs who may require 1-1 additional support to engage in community short breaks.
- Specialist Services: one-to-one support in the community and support for community based activities over 5 hours per week.
There is also information about local and international organisations that provide short breaks and respite.
