Description
Derby City Council is looking to procure a Community Short Breaks Framework. This is a targeted* service whereby providers arrange and deliver activities and provide additional support to children and young people with SEND. Short Breaks also give parents and carers respite from their caring duties. Community Short Breaks are for children and young people who: • may not be able to join in with universal† activities without support, or • may have complex needs that cannot be met by universal services or family support alone *Targeted services are for children and young people who may need additional support and may require an assessment of need to access services. †Universal services are services that are available to all children, young people and their families.
