Short Breaks for Children with Disabilities.

Norfolk County Council wishes to establish a framework of providers of short breaks for children with disabilities. Short Breaks allow a child to spend time apart from their parent/carer, take part in activities they like, form and develop friendships and become more confident and independent. Short Breaks allow the child’s family to have a break from the demands of caring, to relax and recharge their batteries, to spend time with each other and their other children and to reduce family stress. There is no guarantee of business under this framework. As a guide, the Council’s potential spend is up to £1.7 million per annum. However this does not represent a commitment to purchase the value stated, either as a minimum or a maximum, under the framework. Orders placed under the framework will be awarded on an individual basis.
