 Short Breaks Assessment and Review Team

The Short Break Assessment and Review team are responsible for delivering Nottinghamshire County Council’s Short Break offer to children and young people with disabilities that do not meet the threshold for social care intervention.

The offer which was co-produced with children, young people, and families in 2018, aims to enable children and young people with disabilities to participate in positive activities which promote independence as well as giving their parents and carers a break from caring. Requests to the service are via an online self- assessment which young people, parents and carers can access directly.

More information regarding Short Breaks including access to the online assessment and eligibility criteria can be found by clicking the following link: Short Breaks

Children’s Occupational Therapy Team

The team provides specialist assessment for disabled children and young people resident in Nottinghamshire up to the age of 18, who have a permanent and substantial disability which has an adverse effect on their ability to carry out normal day to day activities within the home environment.

Occupational Therapy aims to provide support and intervention to help children and young people with disabilities develop to their full potential, considering the stage of development the child/young person has reached. It can assist with overcoming practical problems and maximizing a child/young person's independence in their own home, as well as supporting parents/carers to care for their disabled child/young person safely.

Following the assessment, a range of interventions may be offered. More information regarding these can be found by clicking on the following link: ICDS OT
