Short breaks
Definition
From:
NICE Guideline NG93 - Learning disabilities and behaviour that challenges: service design and delivery
Also known as respite care, these involve a person with care and support needs spending regular short periods away from their main carer, to give the carer a break and the person a chance to do something different. These breaks may take place in the person's own home, in the home of an approved carer or in a residential placement.
