The purpose of this statement
This services statement is for families living in Lincolnshire who have a child or young person with a disability. It includes information on the purpose of the short breaks services statement and the current range of support available in Lincolnshire.
The short breaks services statement sets out:
- the council's duty
- the criteria by which eligibility for services will be assessed and how to arrange an assessment
- what short breaks are and how these services are designed to meet the needs of families who have a child or young person with a disability.
Our short breaks services statement was developed in partnership with the parent carer forum (LPCF) and Lincolnshire Young Voices to ensure it remains relevant to all. The statement is compliant with The Equality Act 2010 which is used to support the development of suitable provision with appropriate reasonable adjustments.
