Short Breaks Review 2019 WHAT IS IT? The Short Breaks Review is looking at the use of the current short breaks on offer at Wirral, understanding the needs of parent/carers in regards to the frequency and times and listening to young people’s opinions of what they want to see available in the future. WHEN? The consultation has been running since 13th May and runs until 19th July 2019. HOW YOU CAN YOU GET INVOLVED? Fill in the professionals questionnaire. HOW CAN YOU HELP? Circulate the questionnaire to parent/carers in your school for the young people you support, encourage them to fill it in. The more responses we get the more we can champion this cause throughout the authority. These are the links for the questionnaires: PARENT/CARER – https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5W2YBMK PROFESSIONALS - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MDNBSW2
