    Brief

    This opportunity seeks a provider to deliver overnight respite care services for families with children who have autism and neurodiversity-related needs. The service will support families who cannot access mainstream respite services due to their children's complex needs and presentation. Services will be tailored to individual family requirements, with frequency and duration determined by Durham County Council Social Workers following comprehensive needs assessments. The provider must be registered with Ofsted to deliver overnight respite care for children and will work closely with social workers to ensure appropriate support is provided. This is an essential service addressing a gap in current provision for high-needs families.
