Framework for the Provision of Short Break Services for Disabled Children and Young People - Further Competition Round 1

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council are advertising a Further Competition, Round 1 for the Framework for the Provision of Short Break Services for Disabled Children and Young People.

Short Breaks provide opportunities for disabled children and young people to spend time away from their primary carers and should provide the ongoing support that children/young people and their families need to fulfil their potential, therefore benefiting both the child/young person and the parent/carer. The break should provide a rest from caring responsibilities for parents/carers and will allow the child/young person to experience new activities while developing relationships.

The Framework will cover the following lots; • Lot 1 - Overnight care • Lot 2 - Day care • Lot 3 - Domiciliary care • Lot 4 - Community care
