Group Activities for Children and Young People with Sensory Loss

Cornwall Council requires a short break service for children and young people with sensory loss and complex care needs in order to meet our statutory duties, national guidance, local strategic priorities and best practice.

The Council is looking for a provider/s who will work with them to deliver quality services that meet the requirements below. The provider would need to provide experience of offering the services as outlined or similar services that demonstrate flexibility and that they can be responsive and give disabled children choice and control over how their eligible needs are met.

Service Delivery Requirements:

• To provide fun and positive short breaks for young people with a sensory impairment and additional complex needs.

• To work in co-production by involving each young person in any decisions about activities or learning.

• Provide activities focussed on the 'Transitional' age range that focuses on personal development, independence and social skills.
