East Sussex wide Holiday and Short Break Activities

East Sussex has awarded a provider for the provision of East Sussex wide Holiday and Short Break Activities. Short breaks are leisure activities that support children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

Short breaks can include provision for at least 2 hours up to overnight activities for the children and young people. These short breaks can take place in the child's home, an approved carer's home or in a residential/community setting. Short Breaks can include holiday activities, after school clubs, holiday play schemes, engagement activities and youth clubs or activities for all the family. Short breaks can be in specialist and universal settings and can be planned and regular as well as being available at short notice. Contract term includes initial 2 years with up to 24 months extension.
