Could you share the care?
Could you help care for a child with disabilities? This week is ‘Share the Care Week’ and Central Bedfordshire and Bedford Borough Councils are asking people to consider if they could make a positive difference to the lives of disabled children and young people and their families.
The council’s Family Link service offers family-based short breaks to disabled children and young people. These breaks give the child some quality time and new experiences while their parents and siblings can spend time together or find the time to do other things they need to, like attend appointments and go shopping. The scheme works by matching the parents of disabled children with foster carers who can look after their children for a limited time so that the parents and siblings can spend time together.
