Description

Worcestershire Children First is seeking to commission a Foster Care Short Breaks service for children and young people with disabilities and complex health needs in Worcestershire. In Worcestershire, this service is often referred to by families as Family Based Overnights.

Short break provision must have regard to the needs of carers who would be unable to continue to provide care unless breaks from caring were given to them, as well as the needs of those carers who would be able to provide care more effectively if breaks from caring allowed them to undertake education and training, leisure activities or carry out day to day tasks.
