Short Break Service receives Seal of Approval

The new short breaks service is already proving very popular, and is offered to children with complex needs and children with autism. It will provide day breaks during the school holidays and out of school care in the evenings and at weekends.

The short breaks offer a range of creative, sports and leisure activities and will be based at both Henshaws Arts & Crafts Centre and Henshaws College, where they will be able to take advantage of the superb facilities, including  the pool, multi-gym and ICT suite.

Referrals for people interested in accessing the service will come to the Henshaws Children’s Services team via the North Yorkshire Local Authority. For further information, or to enquire about accessing the service, contact Jean Carter at Henshaws College on 01423 886451. Referrals to the service  would be through Social Workers or Care Managers in North Yorkshire Children’s Services or via the Customer Services Contact desk at 0845 034 9410.
