    Brief

    Short Breaks, Community Clubs and Activities (SBCCA) provide respite care and recreational programming for parents and carers of children and young people with special educational needs and/or disability (SEND). The program offers parents and carers essential breaks from their additional caring responsibilities while ensuring children and young people have meaningful opportunities to develop, learn, socialise, and interact with their peers in inclusive community settings. Suppliers should provide high-quality, accessible activities and clubs that support child development, promote peer interaction, and deliver genuine respite relief for families managing the demands of caring for children with complex needs.
