Type of service: Respite and short breaks

Beaumonds is a short break service for children and young people with disabilities. The children's service is commissioned by Bath & North East Somerset's Children's Services who make the initial referrals of children and young people aged between 8-18 years. Referrals to the service are accepted via the local Disabled Children's Team following an assessment of need. Staffing levels are determined by individual assessed needs. Beaumonds also provides a transitional service on a Tuesday and/or Wednesday for young people with complex health needs who are aged between 19-21 years. The Transitional service is available to Local Authorities to spot purchase.

Beaumonds is located in the outskirts of Bath in the South West of England and can provide short breaks for up to five young people at any one time. Young people who stay at Beaumonds participate in a variety of activities and have opportunities to interact socially with peers and in the broader community. Beaumonds aims to work closely with families and other agencies to ensure that positive outcomes are achieved for young people.
