This is aligned to the Day Time Short Break building based group activities. It is the Purchaser’s intention to apply high standards of care to the performance of this Contract and to establish a professional, developmental and progressive relationship with Service Providers to the benefit of children and young people and their families. The Purchaser is committed to working in partnership with independent and voluntary organisations who are involved in the care of children and young people with SEND and their families. Short Break Services are an essential part of a continuum of support for parent/ carers of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

They can be for a few hours or overnight, and families may access short breaks very regularly, or occasionally, dependent upon their needs.
