Short breaks for disabled children are a popular service with families and one supported by central government, local authorities and the voluntary sector. However, black families do not have equal access to this service. This report reviewed literature on access to short breaks by black families, and carried out interviews with children and young people, parents, short break carers and scheme organisers. Two main aims were to examine the barriers to access and what works to overcome these.
