Description

Devon County Council (DCC) has recently developed a comprehensive Commissioning Strategy for Short Breaks for Disabled Children. This has incorporated data we currently hold that we have pulled together for this purpose, feedback from the Parent Carer Forum Devon (PCFD), Children & Families, DCS Support & Advice Team and The Disability Social Work Team.

One of the aims of the Short Breaks Commissioning Strategy is to drive a more consistent and focused approach to market development thereby increasing sufficiency of good quality relevant services that will cost effectively lead to good outcomes for disabled children.

Through the work undertaken to develop the Short Breaks Strategy, gaps in service provision were identified and we have outlined some of our ideas to attempt to address these gaps within our Commissioning Intentions that sit within the Short Breaks Commissioning Strategy.

We would like you to support us at this early stage of service development and give you an opportunity to consider whether you would like to expand your service to respond to identified need and contribute ideas from a provider perspective to the design of new service provision.
