It
provides support services to disabled children under 18 and
their families.
The
Families Together Team has 2 social workers who link
children with another family or individual. These families
or individuals volunteer to have a disabled child with them
for a short break on a regular basis from a few hours a
week to a few days a month.
The Short
Breaks could involve caring for a disabled child in the
Families Together carer's home or in the child's home or
taking the child out on an activity.
This
service is usually free to families and the Families
Together carers are paid an allowance for their time.
