Description
MARKET ENGAGEMENT - THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION
Short breaks are activities for children and young people with SEND that enable them to have fun, spend time with friends and build their confidence and skills in a safe environment. As well as promoting best outcomes for the child, the Children Act 1989, Schedule 2, requires Local Authorities to provide services designed to assist family carers of disabled children 'to continue to [provide care], or to do so more effectively, by giving them breaks from caring'.
Interested parties are invited to respond to this market engagement opportunity by completing and submitting the market engagement document via THE CHEST. The Authority will also arrange and online market engagement meeting (date and time to be confirmed)
