AnnotationThe Social Services Inspectorate (SSI) examined respite and short-term breaks for older people and younger adults with physical and sensory disabilities in seven councils. This pamphlet outlines the inspection's key findings. It suggests questions for social services departments (SSDs) to consider for improving short-term breaks in planning and arranging services, the services themselves, and getting information about the value of the services. Other inspection reports, publications and web sites are suggested for finding more information about improving short-term breaks services. (RH).
