Sheffield City Council has made alterations to their Short Breaks for Children with Disabilities scheme and their Special Needs Inclusion Playcare Services (SNIPS).
Following consultations there will be additional eligibility criteria to qualify for a short break and SNIPS will see the introduction of a parent/carer contribution and an income based assessment for some users.
The Short Breaks Grant application process for 2018-19 will open in October, and information about how to apply will shortly be available on Sheffield City council’s website.
Changes to SNIPs will not be implemented immediately but will be brought in in 2019 when the new contracts with clubs start. If you use SNIPS services you will be contacted with further details nearer the time.
