Short Breaks are vital services for improving the outcomes for CYP with disabilities and are therefore a fundamental element of the provision that underpins the Local Offer. Whilst the services within the Community Short Breaks Services Portfolio does not include overnight care, it does include; day time care, educational and leisure activities and services available to assist parent carers
Whilst Short Break funding overall includes the In House Short Break Services and Direct Payments packages, a significant proportion of this funding has been allocated to Community Short Breaks.
The Peterborough Needs Analysis carried out for the 'Children and young People Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health' Tier 2 service (2015) and the Peterborough Child Health Profile (Public Health England, 2014) states that the 0-19 population in Peterborough is approximately 49,000, projecting a figure of approximately 55,000 for 2020. The 6% cited on the government website (Department for Work and Pensions & Office for National Statistics, 2014) regarding the prevalence of disability for those aged 0-19 indicates that there are just under 3,000 CYP with disabilities in Peterborough.
These 3,000 CYP with disabilities are considered 'children in need' (CIN); a child in need is defined under the Children Act 1989 as a child who is unlikely to reach or maintain a satisfactory level of health or development, or their health or development will be significantly impaired, without the provision of services, or the child is disabled. 5,322 referrals were made to children's social care between January 2012 to August 2015, and as of 31st March 2015, there were 1,895 CIN. 11.5% in Peterborough had a disability recorded, compared to 13% nationally; of these disabilities the most common were either Learning Disabilities or Autistic Spectrum Disorder.
