Short Breaks Team and Parent Voice
Important update - Short breaks and the Gateway Card
For children and young people with disabilities and/or additional needs
Please find information attached about the Short breaks programme (previously known as Aiming High for Disabled Children) and the new Gateway Card for children and young people with disabilities and/or additional needs.
Short breaks are available to children and young people who:
- Have a disability and/or additional needs and may require support to participate in leisure and recreation activities
- Are between 0 and 19 years old
- Live in Hampshire and/or attend a school in Hampshire (excluding Portsmouth, Southampton and the Isle of Wight as they have similar schemes).
The programme has been designed on the basis of feedback from parents, carers and young people on the previous Aiming High for Disabled Children programme. New for this year is the "Gateway Card" which is free and will help give families access to the activities, play schemes and buddy schemes available through the short breaks programme.
The Short Breaks leaflet sets out the programme available and the various ways families can access a short break. For more information see www.hants.gov.uk/shortbreaks
The Gateway Card leaflet explains about the card and contains a registration form which can be printed off and returned by freepost. Alternatively, families can apply online at www.hants.gov.uk/gatewaycard
The Community Buddies leaflet outlines the new buddying scheme available to children and young people aged 7 - 19.
Please encourage the families you are working with to be among the first to receive and benefit from the Gateway Card by applying for this straight away at www.hants.gov.uk/gatewaycard or by returning the form via FREEPOST.
If you have any queries about the Short Breaks programme or wish to request printed copies of the leaflets please contact the short breaks team on email [email protected] or by phone 01962 846399.
