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 and another, 2 bedroom flat, Croft Cottage in Richmond TW9 2HP will provide short break care for children and young people who may have multiple disabilities, complex medical needs and challenging behaviour, and who are aged 8 to 17 years. AfC is inviting the relevant market for a provider to deliver the respite care service from these two premises. 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.
