Flexible Care
Bringing up a child with a disability can be very rewarding but it can also be tiring and stressful and sometimes parents need a break.
We provide support workers who care for a child or young person with disabilities or additional needs on a one to one basis.
These are generally for short periods, 2-5 hours, but can be longer. This service is flexible and designed to suit the family needs. Support workers can care for children at activities in the community or within the home whilst the parents or carers go out. This service is usually funded by the local authority.
