How do families in Torbay access Short Breaks?

If the allocated social worker identifies that some support to access Short Breaks would be beneficial for the child and family, the completed assessment will be used to identify what level and type of Short Breaks a family may need to support them in their caring role. These assessments for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and / or Disabilities (SEND) are usually carried out by a Children with Disability (CWD) Team Social Woker. A discussion will take place on the Short Breaks options available to the family and choose one or more that best meet identified needs from services available under the Local Offer. Should the family feel that nothing on offer meets their needs, they can discuss other options with their Professional and together can design a bespoke, package of short breaks.
