The Council intends to commission portage and short breaks services which deliver age appropriate activities for Children With Disabilities and Additional Needs.

These services should help families to give children with disabilities and additional needs the best start in life and support development through key life stages. They should support children with disabilities and additional needs to be part of their community, to take part in wider activities to achieve positive life outcomes and support independence.
