Overnight Short Breaks For Children and Young People with Disabilities

Description

Achieving for Children (AfC), with Kingston Council, are constructing a new, purpose-built overnight respite facility at the Moor Lane Centre KT9 2AA. This building will be used to provide overnight respite care for children and young people who may have multiple disabilities, complex medical needs and challenging behaviour, and are aged 8 to 17 years. AfC engaged with the relevant market by publishing a PIN on the 14th November 2018 and a Contract notice on 9th January 2019 inviting tenders for this service. The aim of this service is to provide the young people an opportunity to learn, flourish and develop their independent living skills within a safe environment outside their family home and also to provide "time off" for families from the additional demands of caring for child with special educational needs and disabilities.
