Short Breaks redesign

It is expected that the new way of working will improve outcomes for children and families, provide support closer to home and ensure services are more tailored to individual needs.

The council offers a range of services which provide short breaks, activities and overnight respite for children and young people and their families and carers.

Most of this is currently based at fixed buildings but, during the Covid-19 pandemic, support was provided in the communities where those children and families lived. This made the support more personalised and, as a result, many families have changed the way they wish to receive support.
