Short Breaks 

Short breaks means someone else looks after your child while you go out or spend time with other family members - care in the home or away from the home, clubs, play-schemes, residential breaks.

Direct Payments

Direct payments are an agreed amount of money that you are given so that you can arrange your own care. 
You can use this money to organise and buy the care and support you need.

Carers Assessment

If you’re looking after someone who couldn’t manage without your help you have a right to have your own needs assessed. 
This is called a carer’s assessment..
