Short Breaks Service - Durham

There are a number of children and young people with learning disabilities and complex needs who require support to access their community this summer which will allow carers a required break.

Commissioners within the Local Authority would like to hear form any providers who have experienced staff available to support children and young people with learning disabilities, complex needs and behaviours that challenge services during the day within their home or local communities over the summer holidays initially.

As a priority Commissioners would like to speak with Providers who have staff with the right skills and experience to deliver with immediate effect. However, this may lead to longer term delivery of packages.

If you are in this position please contact Shortbreakssolutions@durham.gov.uk or telephone 03000 265881.
