The Outlook Service
Outlook is a short break service which provides disabled children with enjoyable and valuable experiences away from their parents and carers, which in turn gives parents and carers the opportunity to have a break from caring.
The aim of the service is to promote the inclusion of disabled children into mainstream activities in their local community by providing the extra support necessary to remove barriers to inclusion.
To meet the needs of families the short breaks will happen at the time suitable to the family and may occur on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
Outcomes of The Outlook Service:
The Outlook Service is delivered in partnership with the local Health & Social Care Trusts as well as local youth and recreation providers.
The Service:
- Provides disabled children with the support and
- opportunity to access mainstream social and recreational activities within their local community.
- Adopts a person centred approach, ensuring the child’s hopes and aspirations are paramount.
- Supports disabled children to make informed choices, increasing confidence and self esteem.
- Provides parents with information on social and recreational opportunities available to their child.
- Promotes the inclusion and needs of disabled children within the local community by offering disability awareness training.
