Outcome of Consultation on the Implementation of the first phase of the restructure of Overnight Break Service for Children with Disabilities

 

 

This report requests approval to implement the first phase of the replacement of the County Council's existing in-house overnight break provision with new, high specification facilities. This forms part of the wider Strategy for Short Breaks for Children with Disabilities, which was approved in March 2013, following an eight week period of consultation with stakeholders.

 

In October 2013 the Leader of the County Council and the Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Schools approved a period of consultation to identify the preferred site, from the two options, for the first build, and the area that this provision will serve.

 

The period of consultation has been completed and this report presents the outcomes of the consultation and subsequent recommendations.
