Breaks for Families provide individually tailored packages of respite care for children and young people with Special Educational Need or a Disability.

Breaks for Families provides individually tailored packages of respite care for children and young people (up to the age of 25) with Special Educational Needs (SEN) or a Disability, and their families. This may include but is not limited to:
Children and young people on the Autistic Spectrum,
Those with physical disabilities such as, Cerebral Palsy,
Individuals with life limiting conditions e.g. Muscular Dystrophy,
Those with extremely complex behavioural, mental health and/or learning difficulties,
Children and young people with chromosomal/genetic disorders e.g. Downs Syndrome,
Individuals who require 24 hour medical care,
Children and young people who are terminally ill and require end of life care,
as well as 'Looked After' children in the care of social services. BFF sees respite care as the temporary care of a disabled child or young people either within the child's own home or out in the local community. This not only gives the primary care giver a well-deserved break from their normal everyday caring responsibilities, but also gives the child/ young person the opportunity to access social and leisure activities, gain independence and work towards building self-esteem and confidence, enabling them to achieve their own individual identifies. Each package of care will be unique designed to meet the individual needs of both the disabled child or young person and their family. BFF will work in partnership with the parents to ensure they get the best and more suitable care and support possible.

Home support
BFF provides temporary respite care within the child's own home. BFF offer a variety of different services tailored to meet the needs of both the disabled child and their family. This may include, babysitting: this gives the parents a much needed break. It gives them a chance to socialise and spend quality time together with the reassurance that their disabled child is being appropriately supported.

Social, Leisure and community based support: BFF support workers will assist disabled children and young people while out accessing a variety of different activities.

Term Time Activities: This gives disabled children the opportunity to attend after school clubs and other mainstream activity groups that they may not normally have access to. BFF support workers will accompany a child or young person and provide help and support when needed.

Emergency Care: Emergency care will offer the family with flexible care and support in the event of an emergency. This may include, help before and after school, evening support, overnight care or full weekend support.

Holiday Support: This form of support will give the parents of a disabled child a break, but may also allow them to work during the school holidays. Previously the lack of suitable childcare for disabled children meant parents would need more time off. BFF are here to help.

Specialist School Transport: This is specifically for children with medical needs, support workers will support families by driving children and young people to and from school.
