As part of a new government programme called Aiming High for Disabled Children, West Sussex is receiving a sum of money to develop short break services for disabled children.

• More information about the 'Aiming High for Disabled Children' programme

Short breaks provide all sorts of opportunities for disabled children and young people. Spending time away from their primary carers may allow them to experience and enjoy new relationships, environments and positive activities.

They also provide an opportunity for carers to recharge their batteries.

• Contact your local child disability team to find out more about short breaks

A short break may include a few hours, a day, evening, overnight or weekend activity. They could take place at home, at an approved carer's home, in the community or in a residential setting.
