Overview
ESPO is working on behalf of Leicestershire County Council to undertake a procurement to identify and appoint a number of service providers to provide a range of services for children with disabilities. They are intended to promote their positive mental health and emotional well-being.
Short Breaks normally occur on a regular and planned basis and should be part of an integrated programme of support which is regularly reviewed. Emergency Short Break provision will need to be provided from time to time.
The service can only be provided following an assessment of need and if certain thresholds are met. This service is not exclusively for disabled children and young people although they make up the vast majority of service users.
