What is Family Link care?
The Family Link Scheme provides support to disabled children and their families through linking them with volunteer families or individuals who can provide the disabled child with short breaks on a regular basis. There are different ways in which Family Link carers can look after a disabled child: • as a befriender taking a child out and about for a few hours • as a day carer having a child to your home for a few hours or perhaps a day • having the child to stay overnight usually as part of a weekend visit.
