Short breaks provide disabled children and young people opportunities to spend time away from their primary carers and take part in activities that enable them to have fun and develop their independence, emotional resilience and confidence. They also provide a valuable, and sometimes necessary, break from caring responsibilities for parents and carers of disabled children and young people.

Informed by the views of children, young people and their families, three tiers of short break support are available in Jersey.

Children will be supported at the lowest tier required to meet their needs.
