There are a range of opportunities to provide short break services to
disabled children. Some short break carers provide day care, others provide overnight care. Some look after one child. Others look after a number of children. Befrienders support disabled young people to access activities in the community. Contract carers provide short breaks on a paid basis and tend to do this as more of a full time job looking after a number of disabled children.
