Poole Shared Care Scheme For Children
The Shared Care Scheme for children provides short breaks for children with disabilities and a rest for parents, by linking them with a local person or family who can care for children on a regular basis. Valuable support and friendships are also discovered by everyone taking part. The Scheme currently has over twenty carers, linked with more than thirty children. The children benefit by developing new interests, experiences and independence skills. Both Daycare and Overnight care available.
