Respite care and short breaks


We know that looking after children with a range of special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) can be exhausting for parents/carers and you may sometimes feel like you need a short break 'time out' from your caring role.

We are keeping our short breaks under review in line with guidance and needs of families.
