The aim is to improve their outcomes, in turn allowing them to benefit from equality of opportunity and increasing their involvement and inclusion in society and mainstream services. This will reduce social inequality and allow communities to benefit from the contribution that disabled children and their families can make harnessing their talent and fostering tolerance, diversity, and difference. The main aims of short break services are to provide disabled children and young people the opportunity to:  Participate in fun, interesting, and safe activities  Relax and have fun to develop friendships  Develop their independence They also give families an opportunity to: • Have a break from their caring responsibilities • Spend time with other members if their family
