Dear Provider
We currently have a number of disabled children and young people who require a support worker to enable them to access their local community to allow parent/ carers a short break from caring. Within the Government Guidance, respite/ short break care is still able to be provided in local communities, however in order to prevent the spread of the virus service delivery is being considered on a geographical basis.
The Local Authority Commissioners are keen to engage with Providers who have existing capacity to assist in meeting this demand, or would like to discuss how capacity could be developed to enable future delivery.current demand for support worker hours on a geographical basis.
