Outreach support

The outreach service support we provide is for children and young people with disabilities aged 7-18 years old.

We will talk to you, your child and their Social Worker about what types of activities we can offer, such as:

• Eating out
• Sporting activities
• Shopping.

We also offer groups targeted at children and young people with disabilities (Action Pack in Newtown and Our Group in Brecon) where we discuss with the children and young people what activities they’d like to do (i.e. life skills – cookery, shopping and sports).

How to access our service

If your child is open to the Children with Disabilities team, and has a Care & Support Plan completed by their Social Worker, this can be taken to their monthly panel meetings to be assessed for support. Once the support has been agreed at the panel meeting, we will get in touch with you to arrange a visit to complete paperwork and discuss your child’s needs in more detail.

If your child isn’t open to the Children with Disabilities team, a CAF referral form or Care & Support Plan will need to be completed by an agency already working with your child to express the need for support. The referral form will then be taken to a triage meeting for discussion and once agreed, we will get in touch with you to arrange a visit to complete paperwork and discuss your child’s needs in more detail.

We work with other local services, such as the Integrated Disability Service, Team around the Family and Children’s Services to help families get the right support at the right time.
