Community support for Children and Young people with SEND
We are experienced Ofsted registered providers of Children’s community support for local authorities.
The support we provide is around Life skills; Independency and Short breaks for parents and Carers.
This provision is based on 1:1 support which supports Children and Young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), and their families, to access support that offers short breaks from their caring role, even those who do not meet the threshold for social care support.
The support we provide is in line with the specific needs of the Child/Young Person and their family, focusing on development, independence and preparedness for adulthood.
We aim to ensure that children with SEND receive the support they need to achieve the best possible Outcomes in life.
The provision of Lifeskills and Independence Short Breaks support will:
Provide a Short Break opportunity to parents/carers of Children/Young People (C/YP) with SEND.
Enable C/YP with SEND to work towards individualised, person-centred Outcomes with appropriate support to access their local community, preparing them effectively for adulthood.
Equip C/YP with SEND and their parents/carers with the tools and confidence to actively participate in their local community.
Short Breaks can benefit and provide C/YP with SEND with an opportunity to:
- Seek appropriate employment opportunities

- Socialise with peers and make new friends
- Learn new skills
- Keep physically active
