Families Commissioning Service of City of Wolverhampton Council would like to invite you and Providers with relevant experience who have expressed an interest for the Market Engagement Event in relation to these services.
We would like to share with you our vision and priorities for the development of an Overnight Short Breaks Service. The Support Service is a specialist provision providing -based support to children and young people assessed as eligible by the DCYP Team.
In order to meet the requirements outlined in the ‘Short Breaks Duty,’ as detailed in the councils Short Breaks and Respite Statement the council aims to ensure that disabled children, young people and their families will have a range of overnight short breaks available to them.
Overnight will usually be overnight short breaks and provided in established Ofsted-registered short breaks settings, but, subject to agreement with the Authority, may be considered in other settings such as holiday rental properties / caravans, with support from appropriately CQC regulated staff.
The core requirement is for the provision of specialist overnight short breaks at a location away from the home, often in a residential setting for children and young people with SEND. It is intended to give parents and carers a break from their caring role and support in continuing to care for their child or young person The detailed service requirements are still in the final stages of development, and this Market Event will help to explain and inform some of the decisions and your feedback to inform our specification.
