Short breaks review team

Who we support

Children and young people from birth to their 18th birthday, who are identified as having a permanent and substantial disability and their families.

What we do

We:

  • meet with families to discuss their request for support as the front door to SEND social care support at the Stephen Wiltshire Centre
  • provide advice and support to other professionals about short breaks and other local services
  • help families identify the outcomes they and their child want to achieve
  • take short break requests to panel as required
  • undertake reviews of packages of support as required
  • co-produce assessments with families to identify levels of short break packages
  • agree with families' support plans which identify which services and support best meet their identified needs
  • work closely with colleagues across SEND services to support families effectively, including referring families to other professionals where required
