Hello and Welcome!Hello and Welcome! What are Short Breaks?Short Breaks provide opportunities for disabled children/young person to spend time away from their families, relax, have fun, develop new friendships, take part in new experiences and have fun doing positive activities. They also give families a break from their caring responsibilities, a chance to unwind, rest, or spend to time with their other children.
Short Breaks can vary between a few hours and a few days and may include day, evening, overnight and weekend activities. They can take place in the child’s own home, the home of an approved carer, or a residential or community setting.
Who can access Short Breaks? Eligibility criteria for disabled children are used to make sure that services are allocated fairly. Children and young people across Coventry can access Short Breaks if they:
• Have a disability. • Are aged 0-18 years. • Live in Coventry. • Are in receipt of low, middle or high rate Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or if they are on
a school action plus.• Have a completed Short Breaks Passport.
DLA provides help with the extra costs of bringing up a disabled child. It is paid on top of almost any other income you may have, and also gives you access to other kinds of help. If you are not currently in receipt of DLA and you feel you may be eligible to it, contact 0800 882 200.
How to access Short BreaksAll children and young people accessing the Short Breaks service must have a completed ‘Short Breaks Passport’. This will need to be completed and returned, along with a copy of your DLA/School Action Plus letter to: Broad Park Centre, Logan Road, Coventry, CV2 1AG.
If you do not have a passport and would like to be sent one, please contact the Short Breaks Team on 024 7678 6087.

What is a Short Breaks Passport? A Short Breaks Passport is a care plan for your child. It is a document in the form of a passport which holds key information about your child and their disability. Passports are kept at Broad Park Centre in a locked cabinet. Staff use these passports to gain information about the needs of your child when they are accessing the service. We also may use the passports to help inform our planning of future services and to see what support is best for your child.
Service delivery in Coventry Coventry currently provides Short Breaks to approximately 1,500 children and young people aged 0-18 years. This is 2% of Coventry’s child population. The service has grown year on year due to the success of the project.
Our vision in Coventry Our aim is to ensure that families with disabled children have the same human rights as others, including the right to the same quality of life as those who do not live with a disability. However, we recognise that all families are different, so they will need different levels of support and different types of short breaks therefore we ensure that there is a wide range of short break provision to meet those needs. Research demonstrates the value of early intervention and prevention, therefore we ensure that we provide on-going support, not just at points of crisis. We want young people to be healthy, stay safe, enjoy life, achieve success, make a positive contribution and benefit from economic wellbeing.

Short Break Provisionin Coventry
Short Breaks are offered on the basis of an assessed need. All Short Breaks are outcome focused to ensure young people get something out of accessing the service. The services below are offered at three levels that reflect the extent of the individuals needs:
Universal services
For children and young people receiving low, middle or high rate DLA or receive extra help at school such as school action plus. However, all disabled children should have access to most universal and mainstream services. Universal services are really important in ensuring disabled children and young people have fun and enjoy themselves with friends, just the same as other children and young people. Universal services aim to be inclusive and open to disabled children and young people wherever possible. Disabled children will not need an assessment to access these services but must meet the eligibility criteria stated on page 3.
Example of Universal Short Breaks include:Short Break activities, these include term time and school holiday activities. Please refer to page 11 to view the range of activities that are on offer.
Targeted services
Targeted short breaks enable disabled children and young people with severe or complex needs to get short breaks. These services can be accessed via a common assessment framework. Children can also access universal services.
Examples of Targeted Short Breaks include: • 1:1 Support: This may take place in the child’s own home or within the community. If there
is an assessed need, a support worker may take your child to the universal short break activities, with the outcome of them to then access the universal activities on their own.
• Directpayments:ADirectPaymentisthesumofmoneythatCoventryCityCouncilwillpaydirectly to the family to help them buy and arrange their own care and support. Direct Payments are part of the Government’s Personalisation agenda which puts the child central to the support they receive, helping them to live as independently as possible and giving them more choice and control. For more information about direct payments please contact the Council on 024 7683 3362.

Specialist services
Specialist short breaks are for disabled children and families assessed as having the highest level of need. For children and young people who are assessed via a social worker as needing a specialist service from the Children’s Disability Team. They are provided to children and families with the most complex needs.
Example of Specialist Short Breaks include:• Overnightresidentialcare:Thisserviceassistschildrenwithhighsupportneedstosocialise
with others and develop some independence from their families. The quantity of overnight care will depend on the individual family’s level of need.
• Homecaresupportinthehome:Thismayinvolveanindividualworkerwhocomesintoyour home to support the family – this might be to assist with personal care or to help with domestic tasks. Some children and young people may need two support workers, depending on their individual level of need.
For more information about the above services, please contact The Children’s Disability Team on 024 7678 6087.
How do we decide who is eligible for specialist short breaks?The Short Breaks Panel takes place on the last Wednesday of every month in Coventry. It aims to ensure allocation of resources to service users and their families is done fairly and openly. The process follows that set out in the ‘Short Breaks Provision Matrix’ (please refer to page 10 for the matrix), recognising that those in the greatest need will receive the highest allocation of resources. The panel ensures that services are needs led, that services fit need, and that the provision is routinely monitored and reviewed. The panel involves professionals from the service to discuss new referrals for specialist short breaks and review children and young people’s current allocation of short breaks. Each month there are seven 15 minute slots. Social Workers and other professionals book a slot at the panel then they attend to present the case, a decision is then made by the panel.

What will happen after I have booked a Universal Short Break? School holiday short breaks:Universal short breaks can be booked during the times and dates as stated on page 7. When you have booked, allocations will be made taking into account your previous attendance and the currently level of support the family receives. A confirmation letter will then be sent to you in the post outlining what activities your child has been booked onto. If you cannot attend the sessions you have booked, please ensure you contact 02476786087 to enable us to offer the space to another child.
Term-time short breaks:Once the term-time activity is booked and you have submitted a Short Breaks Passport, your child can then attend if there are spaces. If your child is booked on a weekly term time activity, please ensure you contact 024 7678 6087 if they are unable to attend each week to enable us to ensure we have appropriate staffing in place.

A wide range of consultations with parents and children are undertaken on a regular basis throughout the year.

Broad Park Centre
Broad Park Centre is Coventry’s integrated Children’s Centre for children and young people with disabilities. It is purpose built and fully accessible.
We have an extensive range of play/leisure equipment and we organise activities and projects which promote the personal development and life skills of our service users. Many of the term-time and school holiday Short Breaks take place here.
Broad Park Centre also combines a purpose-built residential Short Breaks unit (known as Broad Park House) for children aged 5 to 17 years with learning and/or physical disabilities. The home is registered by Ofsted. A recent Ofsted inspection praised the involvement of children and young people with disabilities in the decision making and design process of the rebuild.
If you would like to arrange a time to come and view Broad Park Centre, this can be done by contacting Michelle Roberts on 024 7678 6078. If you are travelling by bus, you will need to catch the number 10 bus from Coventry city centre.

Changing Places toilet for city centre Coventry city centre will soon have its first Changing Places toilet after the Council helped to fund and build a much needed facility in Central Library. Work is now virtually complete on the new facility and it is likely to be open in mid-April 2013.Changing Places toilets have plenty of space and include a changing bench, a hoist and other specialist equipment for people with disabilities. A nationwide campaign has been running to raise awareness of the need for such facilities so that disabled people and their careers can have the same opportunities to take part in the shopping experience that everyone takes for granted.Coventry City Council and Coventry Mencap have been working closely on the project. Jill Hindi, from Coventry Mencap said it will mean that hundreds of people will be able to spend more quality time in the city centre.
