Inclusion and SEND Support

Greenwich Short Breaks

Short breaks are activities and care for children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND).

They’re designed to help families by giving:

• children and young people time in the community away from their family. This can help develop independence, learn new skills and make friends

• parents and carers a break from caring responsibilities to spend time with other family members and friends, carry out day-to-day tasks or take part in leisure activities

Short breaks are sometimes known as respite care.

You can find out more via the Local Authority's website or guide for families.
