We offer a high quality, person centred respite service. Children are cared for at the respite carers homes sometimes for a few hours but mostly overnight. This service allows children to share in a positive family experience. Respite is provided on a planned basis but there are occasions when emergency respite is requested by social work. Parents are expected to take their children to respite and collect them again but where possible carers will collect the children and take them home.
There is no need to have active Social Work involvement to access our respite services; referrals can also be made by another agency or through self-referring. Agency or self-referrals are encouraged.
