The Service will ensure that the child is supported to become as independent as possible, and their families are supported in a way which enables them to maintain their caring role and responsibilities for their child and sustain an everyday family life for the family, including siblings. Services need to be available to enable all eligible children and young people and their families across Staffordshire, including rural and less populated areas, to have equitable access to quality overnight residential short breaks and community short breaks based in the northern area of the County of Staffordshire. The families in Staffordshire whom require support will have a range of requirements relating to their Children's Disabilities and Needs. The provider will be expected to offer appropriate support packages for a range of different needs and complexity, that will be individually delivered and relate to the individual assessment of needs and build on each family's strengths and assets where possible.

This could include leisure and recreational activities; - the provision of four after school clubs in term time (39 weeks per year), lasting three hours.
