Involve: All Age Disability Service - Short Breaks and Respite

All Age Disability Service - Short Breaks and Respite

What we're doing

We need to know what is important to people who use short breaks and respite services and their family/carers, to help us shape future care and support services for disabled children, young people and adults. We, together with Kirklees CCGs need to make sure the money we do have is spent on the right services to meet individual and families’ needs. To do this we need to know what is important to you and your family.

When we're doing it?

What happened?

Public engagement took place over six weeks from 7th September to 21st October 2016.

We received a total of 224 survey responses. The survey asked a series of closed questions and gave opportunities for open comments on various aspects of short breaks and respite.

8 out of 10 respondents stated they are current users of short breaks / respite. 15% have never accessed the service, while a handful of responses received were from previous users.

Please see the report on the right for full details of the results.

What difference did the work make?

Findings and comments received through this public engagement will be considered alongside other data by Kirklees Council’s All Age Disability board in November 2016.

This will help Senior Managers, together with commissioners of health services, to draft proposals for the future of shorts breaks and respite, and consider how we can best help families and communities to develop local support services.
