CPU4266 - Accreditation List for the Provision of Family Support and Short Breaks - Round One only

For children and young people up to their 18th birthday (which requires registration with Care Quality Commission). Providers are encouraged to deliver short breaks at home to disabled children during the day and may also provide care and support overnight where this would provide a break to the family from undertaking caring activities. Short breaks activities at home are for children and young persons who have complex assessed needs that may prevent them from accessing short break activities in the community. For avoidance of doubt this is a short break offer that provides respite to the parent/carer rather than traditional home care. As such this will not be commissioned solely to provide personal care or take a child to school. The emphasis of this support is on respite and positive activities to promote outcomes for children and young people. Staff are expected to be skilled and to have experience in line with the short breaks' agenda. Additional information: None
