Personal social care budgets for children with an Education, Health and Care plan

Children with EHCPs may be eligible for a social care personal budget. That personal budget can be used to provide short breaks and/or support to children and families.

Short breaks provide opportunities such as activities and weekends away for disabled children and young people. This gives them a chance to spend time away from their primary carers. The provision of short breaks in Trafford is based on an assessment of your whole family, looking at both your personal and social needs.

More information can be found in our Short Breaks advice and information page

The Parent guide is currently being updated, in the meantime please contact the Short Breaks team for further information.
