Short Breaks are intended to have positive benefits for both children and young people with SEND and their parents and carers. Short Breaks have a dual purpose:
a) The main aims of Short Break services are to provide children and young people with SEND the opportunity to:
• Enjoy, try new activities and develop friendships
• Access provision/service both independently and with their families
• Develop skills towards independence

b) It also give families an opportunity to:
• Have a break from their caring responsibilities
• Rest and relax
• Spend time with other members of their family
Dependent upon the needs of the child or young person, a Short Break provision can range from a few hours a week to an allocated number of overnight breaks per year; these can be delivered in the day, evening, overnight or weekend.
