This guide from charity Shared Care Network aims to provide information on short break services for disabled children to practitioners and managers in family support services. It includes information on topics such as overnight breaks, befriending services, direct payments and inclusive play. It also examines what works for children from Black and minority ethnic backgrounds, and those with complex health needs. The guide is also designed to reflect new measures in the national service framework for children.
