Social groups for children and young people with a disability and/or complex needs.

Groups run during term time and school holidays, providing a vital break for parent carers. Children participate in fun activities in a safe environment with qualified care staff.  Groups offer an exciting activity programme planned around the needs of each child and young person.  The groups provide positive experiences by promoting friendship and encouraging social activities, new experiences and supportive relationships.

Have your say! Join our new steering group

We need your help to ensure that the short breaks service reaches more children and families, both in different areas and across a range of needs. As part of our new approach for the short breaks service, we are establishing a new Children’s Short Breaks Steering Group.

This steering group will help plan, coordinate, and continuously improve short break services for children and young people with disabilities throughout the borough.

 If you are a young person who may need this service, a parent or caregiver, or a professional working with children who have special educational needs and disabilities in the area, we want to hear from you.
