Following the first exercise in November 2018, a small pot of money remains available for the delivery of school holiday provision. The stated aim of the 19/20 grants round was to increase the amount of weekend and school holiday provision. Whilst the first round delivered an increase in weekend provision, it has not resulted in an increase in school holiday provision hence this second opportunity. Grants will be awarded to organisations based on the effectiveness and sustainability of their provision however the application must be for school holidays only. ALL applications will be considered, including providers who applied in the initial exercise in November 18.

A short break gives disabled children and young people enjoyable experiences away from their primary carers and also gives parents and carers a valuable break from caring responsibilities. Short breaks can include activities which last: a morning; an afternoon; an evening; a day; overnight; a weekend; or longer. They can take place in: the child's own home; the home of a carer; a residential or community setting. Short breaks form part of packages of support that should be personalised for the children or young person and their family based upon holistic assessment and agreed outcomes. Paragraph 6(1) (c) of the Children's Act 1989 requires Local Authorities to provider services designed to assist carers of disabled children by giving them breaks from caring. This Duty came into force on 1st April 2011 and requires each Local Authority to:- • Offer short breaks as a preventative early intervention strategy; • Offer a range of short breaks services to parents/carers; and • Publish a statement of those services to parents/carers and to regularly review the statement Read full description ## CPV classification Health and social work services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/c39d745a-2cda-4d93-a5bd-3250bc95b378) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
