Short Breaks Services Statements

In April 2011 an historic duty came into force which required local authorities to ensure that there was short breaks provision in their local area.

As part of this duty local authorities must publish a 'Short Breaks Services Statement' on their website by 1st October 2011.

Local authorities are listed alphabetically. If your local authority's short breaks services statement is not listed write to your local authority and request it.
